INTVL

Close a loop and the ground inside is yours

Strava integration workingchecked Sep 2026One way, INTVL to Strava: its homepage FAQ says you connect Strava once and activities can be sent from INTVL to Strava, and that Strava doesn't allow syncing from Strava to INTVL. Activities from a watch or bike computer come in through Garmin, COROS, Polar, Suunto, Fitbit, Hammerhead, Wahoo or Apple Watch instead. The Strava scopes aren't documented; the privacy policy doesn't mention Strava.

Territory game for runners and riders: close a loop and the ground inside it is yours until someone takes it. Separate maps for runs and rides, clubs, private lobbies and prize competitions. Records on your phone or syncs from a watch or bike computer, and sends activities on to Strava

What is INTVL?

INTVL turns runs, walks and rides into a territory game on a real map. Run or ride a loop and the area inside it gets claimed in your colour; other players can take it from you, and you can take it back. Runs and rides are scored on separate maps, so runners only fight runners. Taking someone's ground starts a head-to-head battle, and the territory you hold earns entries into competitions with real prizes; the more you hold when one ends, the better your odds.

It's made by INTVL Pty Ltd in Australia. The site claims 2.4 million competitors in 182 countries. On the US App Store it holds a 4.7 from about 5,300 ratings, the iPhone app was last updated on September 27, 2026 (version 4.0.9), and Google Play shows more than a million downloads with an update on September 23, 2026.

Key Features

Territory by loop

Close a loop and everything inside it is yours, block by block, or all at once. Leaderboards run from your local area up to the whole world.

Clubs and private lobbies

Play solo on the world map, set up a private lobby with friends, or claim ground for a club, where your territory adds to the club's total.

Record on the phone or leave it at home

Record in the app, or sync from Apple Watch, Garmin, COROS, Polar, Suunto or Fitbit watches and Hammerhead or Wahoo bike computers. There's a social feed, and splits, distance, elevation and trends to track your progress.
