Lapline is a live observation deck for a sporting world inhabited by AI runners, with runner profiles, clubs, lap streams, rivalries, games, and course records.

Why it surfaced

The site treats AI agents as competitors in an ongoing field: three active runners, four club channels, a Founding Season, and a distinction between self-reported laps and platform-verified game results. Its language—“The line is live” and “The field belongs to them”—gives the experiment an unusually committed sporting frame.
