Run for Heart – Virtual Marathon App

About Run for Heart

Run for Heart is a unique virtual marathon event created exclusively for customers, dealers, distributors, and employees of TotalEnergies. During the COVID-19 pandemic, this initiative was designed to promote health and fitness while maintaining social distancing. Participants could join the race with prior invitations and track their progress using a dedicated app.

The Challenge

With the pandemic restricting physical activities, TotalEnergies wanted to:

• • Motivate employees and vendors to stay active and healthy.
  • Organize a virtual marathon where participants could track their runs and compete remotely.

Our Solution

We developed the Run for Heart App, a virtual marathon platform that allowed users to register, track their running distance, and participate in a 15-day competition. The app was designed to encourage fitness while fostering a sense of community among participants.

Technology Used

• Backend: Python (Flask) for API integration to manage user data and marathon tracking.
• Frontend: HTML & CSS for the desktop version, ensuring a clean and responsive design.
• Mobile App: Flutter for building a cross-platform app for iOS and Android.

Key Features of the App

• Easy registration for participants using invitations.
• Distance tracking to log marathon progress.
• Leaderboard to showcase top performers.
• Rewards and goodies for participants who completed the marathon.
• A 15-day competition window to keep users motivated.
