Yukan is the running app that turns every run into territory you actually own. Unlike traditional fitness apps that just track your miles, Yukan transforms your GPS routes into claimed territory on a real-world map. Run to conquer streets, defend against rivals, and build your empire one block at a time. It's GPS tracking meets competitive gaming for runners on iPhone.

Yukan is currently available on the App Store without a subscription for the core experience. There is no required paywall at launch, but that should not be read as a promise that pricing will never evolve as premium features ship.

How does territory claiming work?

Simple: run it, own it. When you finish a run, your GPS route automatically converts into territory on the map. That area is now yours — until someone else runs through it and challenges your claim. You'll get an instant notification. Defend by running there again within the time window, or watch it transfer to your rival. Every street is a battleground.

Can I run with friends?

Yes, and you should. Create or join Running Clubs to organize group runs, compete in club challenges, and dominate the leaderboards together. Add individual runners as rivals to fuel competitive fire. Running alone builds territory. Running with friends builds legends.

What devices are supported?

Yukan runs on iPhone with iOS 17 or later. Apple Watch support and Android versions are coming soon. Want early access when they launch? Download the iOS app now to get notified first.

How does auto-start work?

Forget to hit start? Yukan has your back. Using your iPhone's motion sensors, the app detects when you begin running and prompts you to start tracking. No more lost runs. No more unclaimed territory. Every step counts.

Yukan - Because you can.

The Turia: Valencia's Green Artery

Where the Turia River once flowed, now lies 9 kilometers of parkland cutting through the heart of Valencia. For Yukan runners, this is prime territory.

Tactical Advantages

The Turia Gardens offer unique strategic benefits:

Linear path - Perfect for maximizing distance-to-territory ratio
Multiple entry points - Surprise attacks from any direction
Shaded sections - Maintain pace even in Spanish heat
Connected landmarks - Chain claims from Bioparc to the City of Arts

The Marathon Route Opportunity

The Valencia Marathon passes through the Turia Gardens multiple times. Each pass is a chance to expand your empire. Smart runners will study the elevation changes and plan their push accordingly.

Local Intelligence

Arrive early. Run the Turia before race day. Claim preliminary territory. Know every bridge, every fountain, every bend. On race day, you won't be exploring - you'll be conquering.
