Field notes
The game models a runner with rolled statistics, a day job, equipment wear, training, injury, and local competition. Its first region is Wellington, where named events include WUU2K, XTRAIL West Wind, and a Wednesday club night; mountain routes use the following day's forecast and can consume hours rather than minutes. The homepage presents a free signup and a no-account teaser, but does not establish the live status of every described system.
