You're running the whole club yourself.
WEVE is the platform that tracks who builds your club: check-ins, contributions, and a visible share for every member who helps.
From spring to summer 2026, the founders' share of the heavy lifting at Stride & Rise (hosting, warm-ups, supplies) fell from 59% to 42%.

members are on the club's ledger: checked in, contributed, counted.
The problem
Every run club hits the same wall
The same 3 people do everything
A few members carry the club while everyone else benefits. There’s no way to see who’s contributing.
Founders burn out
You started this because you love running. Now you’re an unpaid event planner, photographer, and social media manager.
Contributors go unrecognized
Someone brings 10 friends over 6 months and gets the same credit as someone who showed up once.
The mechanism
Why contributions fix burnout
Most apps track attendance. WEVE tracks contribution: every photo posted, every route planned, every friend brought, every event hosted.
The moment every contribution is visible, two things happen:
- 1.The people doing the work get visible credit. Their contributions add up publicly, unlock tiers, and earn perks the whole club can see.
- 2.The rest of the club sees the gap and starts contributing to close it.
The receipts
The founders started handing it off
Clayton started Stride & Rise and, for over a year, the founders carried most of the heavy lifting: hosting runs, leading warm-ups, bringing supplies. In spring 2026 (April to June) that was 59% of the club's heavy-lift contributions. In summer (July to September), with every contribution on the board, it was 42%.
The members picked it up, because for the first time everyone could see who was building the club.
How it works
Create your club
Pick a name, add your city. Your club gets its own page and a shareable link. Takes 2 minutes.
Members earn points
Check in to events, log contributions like taking photos or bringing friends. Every action earns points.
Points become a visible share
Members with a real share start co-hosting runs, planning routes, and bringing friends, because the club is theirs too.
From 19 runners to 321 members

It's not just about the runs.
Questions you’re probably asking
How long does it take to set up?
Two minutes to create your page. About fifteen minutes to add your first event and customize what counts as a contribution. We onboard you personally.
Will my members actually use it?
Set the tone in week one by logging the first few contributions yourself: “Maya brought four friends, +20”, “Chris took the recap photos, +10”. Once members see their names on the board, they self-organize. Our Austin club went from a few founders carrying everything to 178 contributors.
What if I want to leave?
Your data stays yours. Leave any time and we hand you your members, events, and contribution history. We don’t lock you in, and we don’t sell your member list.
Will members feel weird about being ranked?
The leaderboard ranks contribution, not pace or distance. It rewards the person who took the photos, not the one who ran fastest. The fastest runner and the most generous member usually aren’t the same person, and that’s the point.
How much does it cost?
Founding clubs join at a simple monthly founding rate for the whole club. We confirm it with you during onboarding, before you commit. Members never pay. We still onboard selectively from the waitlist.
