What’s your running rank?
Your running rank is a league on the Trophy Road, set by the trophies your runs have earned. In Runked, ranks run from Bronze I to Olympian across 20 leagues. Connect Garmin or Apple Health and the app ranks you at once from your history; with no history, your rank appears after your first tracked run. Every run afterward earns trophies, and a missed weekly goal can take some back.
Every runner has asked the question: am I actually any good? Race results only answer it a few times a year, and social running apps answer it with kudos, which measure popularity, not running. A rank answers it every single day.
Why runners want a rank
Games figured this out decades ago. A visible rank does three things a mileage log does not:
- It gives every run a stake. An easy Tuesday 5K is no longer filler; it is rank progress.
- It makes progress legible. "I went from Silver II to Gold I this spring" says more than a spreadsheet of splits.
- It is honest. A rank that can fall is worth holding. No participation trophies.
The Runked tiers, explained
Runked places you in one of 20 leagues. Bronze through Elite each have three steps, with I as the entry step and III the highest. Champion and Olympian sit at the top. As of October 2026, each league needs these trophies to enter and carries this weekly goal:
| League | Trophies to enter (I / II / III) | Weekly goal (I / II / III) |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze I–III | 0 / 100 / 250 | None |
| Silver I–III | 450 / 650 / 900 | 40 / 60 / 80 |
| Gold I–III | 1,200 / 1,500 / 1,850 | 100 / 125 / 150 |
| Platinum I–III | 2,250 / 2,650 / 3,100 | 180 / 215 / 250 |
| Diamond I–III | 3,600 / 4,100 / 4,650 | 280 / 320 / 360 |
| Elite I–III | 5,250 / 5,900 / 6,600 | 400 / 450 / 500 |
| Champion | 7,400 | 550 |
| Olympian | 8,500 | 700 |
How the rank is calculated
Every run earns trophies, and your trophy total is your rank. Trophies measure effort, not pace: how long the run was and how hard it was for you. An easy 5K is about 35 trophies, a solid 10K about 70 and a long run about 130. From Silver up, your league's weekly goal comes off your total every Monday. Earn the goal and you hold your league; earn more and you climb; earn less and you slip. One week with no runs is free, and Bronze has no goal.
How to get your rank
- Download Runked for iPhone and start the 7-day free trial.
- Connect Garmin Connect or Apple Health during onboarding. Runked reads your running history and places your Runk on the spot.
- No history? Track your first run with the built-in GPS tracker and your rank appears.
- Climb. Every synced or tracked run earns trophies. Rank-ups get a full-screen reveal, confetti included.
How to climb faster
The rank follows the trophies your training earns, so climbing is a training problem, and Runked ships the tools:
- Follow a plan. A personalized training plan schedules the mix of easy runs, tempo work and long runs that actually builds fitness.
- Stay consistent. A running streak with chest rewards at 7, 30, 60, 100 and 365 days keeps the habit alive.
- Don't overcook it. The fitness & fatigue metrics warn you before ambition turns into injury.
- Meet the weekly goal. The running leagues score effort, not pace, so every honest week earns trophies.

How do I find out my running rank?
Download Runked for iPhone and start the 7-day free trial. Connect Garmin Connect or Apple Health and the app places you from your running history right away. If you have no history, your rank appears after your first tracked run with Runked's built-in GPS tracker.
What are the rank tiers?
There are 20 leagues: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond and Elite, each with three steps (I, II and III), then Champion and Olympian. Within a league, I is the entry step and III is the highest. Each league needs a set number of trophies to enter.
Can my rank go down?
Yes. From Silver up, every league has a weekly goal in trophies that comes off your total every Monday. Fall short of it and trophies come off, and you can slip into the league below. One week with no runs is free, and Bronze has no weekly goal, so a Bronze runner only climbs.
Is the rank free?
No. The rank is part of Runked PRO, which costs $59.99 a year after a 7-day free trial, or $11.99 a week. The app is free to download, but using it requires the subscription. One subscription covers the rank, the Trophy Road, leaderboards, training plans, race predictions and the rest of the app.
