Guides

Four short guides cover the whole life of a club. Each step matches exactly what's on screen — no theory.

Launch your club tonight (15 minutes)

From nothing to a live club page with a printable poster.

  1. 1Start your free pilot — enter your email and the six-digit code we send. No password, no card.
  2. 2Name your venue and club. The club's web address comes from its name (you can rename later — old links keep working).
  3. 3Review the terms and waiver. We give you adult-club starter wording; adapt it to your venue and confirm you've reviewed it. Runners accept these when they join.
  4. 4Set your weekly run: day, time, meeting point, how long. Future weeks appear automatically — you never re-create the run.
  5. 5Pick a reward. Post-run discount is pre-selected because it works; confirm the plain-language summary and you're done.
  6. 6Print the QR poster and stick it where people wait — by the bar, the counter, the door. Scanning it takes runners straight to joining.

Run the night

The five minutes around the run that make the club tick.

  1. 1Open your dashboard → the run's Check-in QR. Print it or keep it open on a phone at the meeting point.
  2. 2Runners scan to check in. In scan-out-and-back-in mode, the sheet shows how many are out and how many are back.
  3. 3Someone's phone died? Manage attendance → record it manually. It's marked, audited and earns rewards like a scan.
  4. 4Need to reach someone's emergency contact? Run leaders see any contacts members chose to add, on the attendance page, only around the run itself.
  5. 5After the run: runners open their rewards page and show voucher QRs. Staff redeem in one tap; owners and managers can reverse a mistake.
  6. 6Before you close up: answer the 30-second "How did tonight go?" on the attendance page — how many stayed, was it worthwhile. Rough numbers build your commercial signal.

Build your team

Get the phone out of your pocket and behind the bar.

  1. 1Settings → Manage team → add a teammate's email and choose their role: Manager (runs the club), Run leader (runs the runs), Staff (checks in and redeems).
  2. 2If they already have an account the role attaches instantly; otherwise ask them to sign in at cornermile.co.uk with that email — the role attaches automatically at first sign-in.
  3. 3Roles are removable any time, everything is audited, and a venue always keeps at least one owner.

Make rewards pay their way

The reward is the reason runners come back through the door.

  1. 1Start with the post-run discount — immediate, obvious value on the night, and every redemption is a till transaction that wouldn't otherwise exist.
  2. 2Add an active-member perk (e.g. free coffee while attending regularly) to reward consistency, or a milestone (every 5th run) to give the club a rhythm.
  3. 3Make soft-drink options as generous as pints — morning clubs and non-drinkers earn the same way.
  4. 4Watch the repeat-attendance number. If it climbs, the reward is working; if redemptions climb without repeat attendance, the reward's too easy.

Keep it fresh, prove it works

The week-in, week-out habits that turn a run club into repeat custom.

  1. 1Build a route library (dashboard → Route library): even two routes to alternate keeps the run interesting. Link Strava or any map — public links only, or runners hit a login wall.
  2. 2Attach one or several routes to each run from Manage runs. With a range, runners choose at RSVP — so you know who's planning what.
  3. 3Answer the post-run question every week. "4 of your last 5 runs were commercially worthwhile" is a sentence you can take to the brewery, your accountant, or us.
  4. 4Members who opt in appear in your contact list (Settings → Exports): email them about what's on beyond the run. Always download fresh — it only ever contains people opted in right now.
  5. 5Once a month, download your members and attendance CSVs. Your data is yours, and watching the trend beats guessing.
