Schedule weekly runs

Members RSVP in the app and see where to meet.

Roles in a squad

OwnerOrganiserRun leader

The owner made the squad and can apply to verify it. Organisers and run leaders help run it.

Get verified

Show runners you're the real club

A verified badge next to your squad's name tells runners this is the real club, not a lookalike.

  • Apply from the appThe squad's owner applies from the squad's Manage page. Only public squads can be verified.
  • Prove it's yoursLink the squad's Instagram and put the code pacr gives you in its bio while staff check.
  • Host eventsOnly verified squads host events with tickets on pacr.
  • Keep itChanging the squad's name or Instagram removes the badge, so the app asks first.
Verified

The badge means pacr checked that a club is who it says it is. It is not a promise about any person, run or event.

Questions from hosts

Does hosting cost anything?

No. Squads and runs are free. On paid tickets, runners pay a 5% pacr fee and 18% GST on that fee on top of your price, and you're paid your ticket price.

Who can sell tickets?

Verified squads, and organisers pacr has approved at pacr.life/host/apply.

Can I run the squad from my phone?

Yes. You can make the squad, schedule runs and manage members in the app. The host dashboard at pacr.life/host is there when a bigger screen helps.

Which rules apply to my squad?

Your own join rules and squad rules, on top of pacr's terms and community rules, never instead of them.

Who is responsible for an event?

The host. You're the organiser: the event, the people running it, the route, permits, safety and insurance, and describing it honestly. The hosting section of the terms has the details.
