TheRunRec Booking

About The Runrec

RunRec is the 24/7 autonomous sports club, built for the player who just wants to play. Private courts. Mobile booking. No staff. No friction. Open every hour of every day. We started in Waterloo, Ontario in 2021. We're expanding across North America.

Years Ago, Our Founders noticed something...

Basketball doesn't have a popularity problem, more so an access problem.

Public courts depend on weather and luck. Private gyms cost too much and demand too much structure. School and rec center gyms run on someone else's schedule. Nothing existed in the middle.

No clean, private indoor space you could just book and show up to. So we built it.

Access to Community

Our mission is to build the infrastructure that gives people access to sport, and community on their terms, whenever they want it. Not a fitness club. Not a training facility.

Not a staffed, scheduled, managed experience. RunRec is private court access run by technology, not staff. The only thing between you and the game is a tap on your phone.

We built the booking system, the access system, and the back end ourselves. It works. Now we're opening it up.

Coming to a City Near You

Every week we hear from people in cities we don't operate in yet, asking when we're coming. So we're opening it up. RunRec is now a franchise, with units in development across Canada and the United States. If you've been looking for a sports facility franchise with a model that runs on technology instead of headcount, this is worth a conversation.

Photography Permits

We believe photography is a great way to capture memories and special moments. However, it’s important to be respectful of other people when taking pictures.

If you’re going to be taking pictures of people, make sure to get their permission first. Nobody wants to have their picture taken without their consent.

That being said, feel free to take pictures inside the facility. Just be sure to respect other people’s privacy and space.

Inappropriate Behaviour

We reserve the right to remove any guests who behave inappropriately from the premises. This includes but is not limited to: trespassing, vandalism, theft, and harassment.

We want everyone to feel welcome and comfortable on our property, and we will not tolerate anything less. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Do I Need to Have Insurance?

We believe your safety is always our top priority. However, we are not responsible for any injuries that may occur while playing in our facility.

We recommend that all participants rely on their own insurance coverage to protect themselves in case of an accident. While our courts are well-maintained and our staff is highly trained, accidents can still happen.

With insurance, you can rest assured knowing you will be covered in an emergency. We appreciate your understanding.
