Roadmap
We build CornerMile in the open with the venues using it. Pilot venues' feature suggestions steer this list and earn discounts when they ship. The order and detail will change, but the direction won't.
Now: the Liverpool pilot
- Launch: a venue goes from nothing to a checked, public club page with a poster in about 15 minutes plus a review.
- Operate: weekly runs that keep running, routes, a team with the right access, and one QR check-in at the meeting point.
- Retain: rewards earned by turning up, redeemed by staff in one tap, with runners told when a run changes.
- Prove: attendance, repeat share and redemptions on the dashboard, and a 30-second post-run answer, so the venue can judge the night on evidence.
Next
- Routes on maps: GPX upload with an OpenStreetMap view, and a simple map to follow on your phone.
- Your branding: club-page colour schemes.
- Embed your club in your own website, powered by CornerMile.
- Distance search in the club directory, once there are enough clubs to need it.
Later
- Route generation: give us a start point and a distance, get an editable loop back.
- Junior runs: proper under-18 support with parental consent and checked leaders. Deliberately not rushed.
- Optional paid runs: ticketed events and venue-credit entry, for sessions that need a cap or a kitty.
- Apply from a club page: leaders can already apply from the lead-a-club page; a direct application route from each club page comes later.
- Beyond Liverpool: the pilot is deliberately local so we can support venues hands-on. New areas open once it proves the model. Opening one is a change to the postcode rule, which lives in one place on purpose.
- Pilot places and dates: the product does not cap how many venues join, spot duplicate venues or hold a pilot end date yet. Until it does, the postcode rule and one-off recorded exceptions are the whole boundary.
- Paid plans arrive after the pilot proves the value. Pilot venues keep everything, get Founding Venue pricing and continue to earn discounts for feature suggestions we ship.
Everything shipped so far, in detail
- Everything needed to launch and run a club is live: guided setup, public club pages, QR check-in (single or out-and-back), automatic rewards, staff redemption, team roles and the value dashboard.
- Routes: a library venues rotate, one route or a range per run, runners choose at RSVP, and links out to Strava or anywhere else.
- Safeguarding, live: adult clubs, report-a-concern on every club page (reaching the venue and CornerMile), and optional emergency contacts for run leaders around each session.
- Your data, downloadable: members with terms evidence, attendance history, calendar files for every run, and a consent-based contact list of members who opted into hearing from you.
- Proof it pays its way: a 30-second post-run answer becomes evidence that the club is worth it for the venue.
- No more silent cancellations: runners who RSVP'd are emailed automatically when a run is cancelled, moved or changes meeting point.
- Members who opt in receive a run reminder the day before, with one-tap unsubscribe in every email.
- Suggest features and report bugs from inside the product. Suggestions we ship cut the pilot venue's future subscription price.
- Find a club near you: a public directory of every club, with upcoming runs and rewards at a glance.
- Find someone to lead the club: venues flag that they're looking for a run leader; coaches, influencers and keen runners register on the lead-a-club page and we make the introduction.
- Fronted by a person: invited run leaders get guided onboarding and a public profile with their name, bio and social links. The profile appears in the Led-by block on their club page. Leaders can unpublish themselves, and venues can hide anyone from their page.
- Keep the community connected: venues and visible run leaders add their Instagram accounts so runners can follow each one directly from the club page.
- Look after the people who lead: venues grant standing, venue-funded leader perks for runs led, any visit or a monthly allowance. Leaders show them at the bar, staff record each use and managers can reverse mistakes.
- Match leaders and venues directly: signed-in leaders apply to venues looking for help, owners and managers review each profile in Settings, and an accepted applicant joins the team as a Run leader.
- Cover every run: owners and managers assign one or more leaders to a session, and leaders can step in or stand down themselves without cancelling the run. Assigned public profiles appear on that run.
- One account across several venues: add each venue yourself, switch the acting venue once and every management screen stays scoped to that site.
- The pilot area is enforced, not just described: signup asks for the venue postcode and checks it before sending a code, a venue outside the area goes to the launch list instead of an account, and the postcode is checked again and stored when the venue is created.
- New venues are checked by a person before their club page goes public: a venue finishing guided setup waits for review, invisible until approved, and every approval or rejection is recorded with who decided and when.
- One tap to sign in: every sign-in email carries a button that signs you in in the browser you tap it from. The same email carries a six-digit code for when you are reading it on a different device, or in a mail app whose built-in browser is not the one you use; either spends the same one-time key. Once signed in, you stay signed in for months in that browser.
- Runner joins keep their evidence and intent: the exact terms shown are bound through the six-digit-code step, changed wording pauses membership for a fresh acceptance, and a chosen run returns on an authenticated page for an explicit Going confirmation.
- We can see where setup goes wrong: signing up, joining and checking in count their own steps against a random 30-minute reference, so a step that loses people gets fixed instead of guessed at. No names, emails, postcodes, IP addresses, form contents or advertising cookies are involved, records are deleted after 90 days, and it is kept apart from every marketing choice. Where a venue or runner needed help by hand, we record the step and the outcome and nothing about the person.
- A discount for every member: members hold a venue discount from the day they join, and every voucher is use-once or standing, your choice, pausable or changeable at any time.
- Hand the club on: an owner makes a teammate the owner from Settings, choosing in the same step whether to step down to manager, stay an owner as well, or leave the team. A venue always keeps at least one owner.
- Passkeys: after one email sign-in, the next one offers a fingerprint, face or device PIN so you can skip the code on that device. Never required; the email code always works.
- Run to your rhythm: the regular run repeats weekly or monthly, and one-off runs — a special, a race-day social — sit alongside it on Manage runs.
- Rewards on your rules: for each reward you choose which runs count, whether the count is a total or an unbroken streak, and how long a voucher lasts; a run-day voucher can carry a line for the friends a member brings.
- Your logo, your page: upload it under Settings and it heads your public club page, the printed poster and the club's emails to members.
