Tap Run to the Deep, then Run to the Deep Select your run settings, including tracking and music, and off you go! 🐳

 

As you run, the app will play the narration and any music you've selected. There's no need to check your phone during the run - the mission audio will let you know when to start and stop.

Please note that the app’s audio is not continuous. It appears at certain distances e.g. when you reach the distance equivalent to the depth of the wreck of the Titanic, there will be some information about that.  The audio will cut across your music or running app you have open, and so you can use those as usual, or may choose to have only the Run to the Deep app playing and just wait for the next stage of the audio to kick in. 

This article about last year's race, Run the Solar System, by physicist oceanographer and broadcaster Helen Czerski, gives you a flavour of what it will be like.
