Memberships and leaderboards are connected
TruRace is not built around one giant leaderboard where only the fastest athletes matter. Membership tiers connect to a leaderboard system built around selected race bands, verified results, and repeated strong performances.
That means your membership is not just buying access to a page. It is buying access to a structured competition environment that ties together race-band selection, leaderboard eligibility, and prize access.
The goal is simple: make leaderboard competition feel meaningful for more runners.
Fair competition
Win on performance, not genetics.
Free tier access
The free tier is designed to let runners experience TruRace and begin building a profile, but it does not carry the same prize access or leaderboard depth as paid tiers.
Paid competition access
Paid tiers expand access to prize heats, fuller leaderboard participation, and tier-based payouts.
Race band fairness
Your leaderboard is tied to the race band you choose. The goal is to make leaderboard competition feel earned against athletes closer to your level.
Keep racing. Start winning.
TruRace memberships are built to support fairer competition, repeated participation, and leaderboard structures that reward strong performance within the band where you actually belong.
Core leaderboard rules
- Leaderboards are organized by selected race band, not one global ranking across all runners.
- You choose your race band at signup and confirm or update it annually.
- Only verified results count toward leaderboard standings.
- Leaderboards use a best N results model rather than counting every race equally.
- A minimum number of races can be required for full leaderboard eligibility.
- Leaderboard and payout logic operate on a rolling 12-month membership period.
