Terms of use
Not medical advice
Starting Line gives general fitness guidance for healthy adults. It is not medical advice and doesn’t replace a doctor, physical therapist or other qualified professional. Check with a doctor before you start if you have a health condition, are pregnant, or answered “yes” to any screening question.
Stop and get help if you feel chest pain, severe shortness of breath, dizziness, or pain that gets worse. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.
You decide how hard to go. Use the app at your own risk.
Safety tools have limits
The check-in timer and live location link need your phone, battery, signal and permissions to work, and they never contact anyone without you. Don’t rely on them in place of emergency services.
Community rules
We have zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. Reviews and group listings must be honest and about running. No hate, harassment, threats, sexual content, spam, ads, links or contact details.
We may remove content and close accounts that break these rules, usually within 24 hours of a report. Report content with the Report button, block a reviewer with Block, or email us.
You keep ownership of what you post, and let us show it in the app.
Your account
Keep your email up to date if you save your account. You can delete your account at any time in Settings → Privacy & data.
Premium subscriptions
Starting Line Premium is an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly, at the price shown in the app before you buy. New subscribers get a 7-day free trial. If you don’t cancel at least 24 hours before the trial or a period ends, Apple charges your Apple Account for the next period.
Cancel any time in your device’s Settings → your name → Subscriptions. You keep Premium until the end of the period you paid for. Refunds are handled by Apple.
Plans, run recording, the shoe finder, Learn and every safety feature stay free without Premium.
Apple’s standard license agreement also applies: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
Third-party information
Weather, maps, course elevations and shoe details come from other sources and may be wrong or out of date. Check race details with the race organizer and shoe details with the retailer.
