Yourkilometerscan do more.
Run or walk as you always do and dedicate your kilometers to social projects. Every kilometer becomes a heart kilometer – and together the Herz-Kilometer community unlocks financial impact pools. It costs you nothing.

Everything happens in the app.
Create an account, connect your tracker, pick a challenge. From there the counting runs by itself — in the background, with nothing to do.

Your kilometers
Automatically from Strava, Garmin, Polar, Suunto or Apple Health — in the background, nothing to log.
Three steps. Then it runs by itself.
Pick a project
Choose a challenge that matters to you. From then on every kilometer counts towards its shared goal.
Collect kilometers
Connect your tracking and run or walk as usual. The app picks up the kilometers automatically.
Unlock impact
Every heart kilometer brings the community closer to its shared impact goal – and unlocks a further share of the impact pool.
What people are running for right now.
Spring run for the children’s charity
This is what a challenge looks like: a kilometer goal, a fixed impact pool and everyone moving for it – progress is public for anyone to follow.
38 %Where the money comes from.
You do not donate – you run. Every challenge has a fixed impact pool, provided by a company or by Herz-Kilometer itself. Each heart kilometer the community collects unlocks a further share of it.
- Step 1
You run
Free, with the tracking you already use.
- Step 2
Heart kilometers
Every kilometer counts one to one as a heart kilometer towards your challenge’s goal.
- Step 3
Impact pool
Kilometer goal and impact pool are set independently for each challenge. The pool unlocks proportionally: half the kilometers unlock half the pool. Payment goes straight to the organisation. We fund the first pools ourselves.
- Step 4
Social project
We bring in social projects via betterplace.org and directly named organisations.
No subscription, no fee, no in-app purchases. All you need is the app and your existing tracking.
Because you never donate yourself, taking part does not come with a donation receipt. The donation comes from the company that funded the impact pool and goes straight to the organisation. BETTERPLACE.ORG →
Your next round can change something.
Creating an account takes a minute. After that every kilometer you run anyway counts.
