The Running Hackathon

​The first hackathon in Europe where you run and build at the same time.

About

One rule changes everything: ​You can only build while you're running. ​Teams of 3. 5.5 hours. Ship a real product. ​But only the teammate who is out on the go is allowed to touch it. This is hands-free, from a phone, voice in, agents doing the work, output live on the screens at home base. ​The moment nobody on your team is running, your agents get paused. No prompts, no runs, no deploys, until the next runner is moving. Everyone else can plan, watch the screens, and wait for the handoff. The running will be relay style, swap running between teammates as many times as you like. ​Why? ​Endurance, startups, hackathons, same feeling, different drug. Usually kept in separate rooms. Now all in one place. ​You have to be wired a certain way to say yes to something like this. Everyone else opts out. ​Which means what's standing next to you is a hundred people who each decided that this sounds like a good Saturday. ​And that's what we want. ​The day ​10:30: Doors open, event briefing, team formation ​11:30: Opening ceremony and warm-up ​12:30: RUN START ​12:30 - 18:00: Run window (5.5 hour build) ​18:00: Submissions ;) ​18:00 - 18:55: Judging window ​19:00 - 19:40: Final 5 pitches ​20:00: Winners and Prizes ​20:00 - 21:00: Party and wind down ​What to bring ​Running gear you can go all day in. Your own laptop. A phone to build on. Bring portable chargers as you'll be building on the go. ​Filming ​The whole day is filmed, and there will be an event video after. ​Sponsors ​Healf - Cognition x Poke - Roxfit - Deepline - Wispr Flow - Algosoup - Delfa - ElevenLabs - Thrad - Tavily - Accelerate ME - PerfectTed - O2 ​Community Partners ​Unicorn Mafia - Pitchless Community - Security Builders Club ​Prizes (Non-exhaustive) ​1st Place: ​Oura Ring 4 - Silver (three) ​£1,000 ​Healf Core bloods kit (three) ​3 months Eleven Labs Pro ​$1500 in Thrad credits ​2nd Place: ​WHOOP One 5.0 (three) ​£500 ​$1000 in Thrad credits ​Healf bloods kit ​3rd Place: ​Theragun Relief (three) ​£250 ​$500 in Thrad credits ​Best Eleven Labs: Eleven Labs Scale ​Best GTM: Healf bloods kit ​RoxFit Run Challenge: £250 ​Now is the time to be part of the moment of something that's never been done before. ​Spots are limited to 100.
