Territory capture on runs

Runs in OneMoreDay aren't just logged — they can capture territory. Inspired by INTVL-style territory games, your runs turn into claimed map zones you can grow and defend.

How it works

1. Track a run. OneMoreDay records your route with high-accuracy GPS.
2. Close the loop. If your run forms a closed loop (your start and end points come back together), it qualifies as a captured area.
3. Create the zone. Your GPS track is simplified into a clean polygon and the enclosed area becomes your territory, shown on the map in your color.
4. Resolve overlaps. If your new run covers ground already held by someone else, the newer claim takes that area — so territory is contested and dynamic.

The map and leaderboard

Your captured zones appear on a dark, stylized map alongside other runners' territories. OneMoreDay ranks runners on a leaderboard by total area captured, so there's always a reason to go claim a little more ground.

Badges you can earn on runs

• First Steps — complete your first run.
• 5K / 10K / Marathon — distance milestones.
• Land Grabber / Baron / City Ruler — territory-area milestones.
• Conqueror — take territory from another runner.
• Streak badges (3-Day, Week, Monthly) for consecutive active days.

Where runs come from

Runs can be tracked live in the app, or imported automatically from Strava (see Wearables & integrations). Imported runs go through the same pipeline — territory, streaks, stats, and badges all update automatically.

Frequently asked

Do I have to run in a loop to capture territory? Capturing area requires a closed loop. You still get distance credit, stats, and streak progress for any run.

Can someone take my territory? Yes. If another runner covers your ground with a newer run, that area changes hands — and they may earn the Conqueror badge.

Does Strava work for territory? Yes — imported Strava runs are processed the same way as in-app runs.
