Runr by iRare Media ($0.99, 5.4 MB): This Game Center-equipped run tracker adds extra motivational force to your fitness program by tapping into that competitive nature. In fact, along with striving to earn the 25 achievements and top the six leaderboards, which cover both speed and distance performance, you may challenge a friend or any other Runr to a real-time, sprint-style race ranging from 100 to 1,600 total meters, or one mile. During these live contests, and even while running solo, updates, including progress and whether you're winning or losing, are provided visually as well as audibly for comfort, convenience, and safety. Furthermore, the app, obviously, features a run log plus quick access to the Music app.
