How to join your team and log in to Run5

Your coach or club admin adds you to the team and gives you a personal invite code. You only need the code once. After that, you just sign in.

Before you start

Join your team (first time)

  1. Open Run5.
  2. Tap Join a team (“I have an invite from my coach”).
  3. Enter your invite code and tap Continue.
  4. Run5 shows your team, your name and your email from your coach’s invite. Check they’re right.
  5. Set a password. Your name and email are already filled in for you.
  6. Tap Create account & join. That’s it. You’re on the team, linked to your place on the roster.

Already have a Run5 account?

  1. Open Run5 and tap Join a team.
  2. Enter your new invite code and tap Continue.
  3. Sign in with your email and password, then tap Sign in & join. The new team is added to your account.

Logging in next time

  1. Open Run5 and tap Sign in.
  2. Enter your email (the one from your invite) and the password you set.
  3. Tap Sign In. You won’t need your invite code again.
  4. Forgot your password? Enter your email, tap Forgot password? and follow the link we email you.

Good to know

  • Name or email wrong on the invite? Ask your coach to fix it before you join, as your email is what you log in with.
  • Each code works once, for one person. Don’t share yours.
  • Codes expire 14 days after they are created. If yours has expired, ask your coach for a new one.
  • “Invite code not found” or “already used”? Check for typos, then ask your coach for a new code.
  • Under 18? Your parent or guardian gets the invite code and joins first.
