We got tired of routes that didn’t fit our lives.
So we built something better.
in 2014
Declan Reid was running for UCLA, and Marcus Webb ran for UCSB. For four years they competed, clashed, and quietly made each other better without knowing it, even if neither of them could stand losing to the other. When they ran into each other at a marathon in 2017, something clicked. They realized they’d been racing the same person in their head this whole time. They had the exact same frustration with every running app they’d ever used and started building the blueprints to what we know now as MERIDIAN.
What DRIVES Us
Running should never feel like a chore, a competition you didn’t sign up for, or a route you didn’t choose. We built Meridian because every runner, whether it’s their first mile or hundredth, deserves an app that works around their life, not against it. We’re here to make running feel free again. Free to go where you want, run with who you want, and move at a pace that’s yours.
That’s not just our mission. That’s the whole point
Running on more than just Carbs
No rigid routes. No one-size-fits-all plans.
Meridian gives you the tools to run exactly the way you want.
FREEDOM
Your run belongs to you. No one gets to tell you how far, how fast, or which roads to take. Meridian was built to give you control back over your route, your pace, and your journey. Run where you want. Run how you want. Just run.

COMMUNITY
The best runs aren’t always the solo ones. There’s something about running alongside people who get it — who know the 6am alarm, the bad weather days, and the feeling of crossing a finish line you didn’t think you’d reach. We built Meridian to help you find those people.

SAFETY
Every runner deserves to feel safe out there. Whether you’re running familiar streets or exploring somewhere new, Meridian helps you plan smarter, stay aware, and move with confidence. Because the only thing you should be focused on is the run itself.

GRIT
Running is hard. Some days the miles feel impossible and you lace up anyway. That’s the part we respect the most — not the personal bests or the podium finishes, but the decision to show up when it’s difficult. Meridian is for those days just as much as the good ones.

PROGRESS
It doesn’t matter where you started. What matters is that you’re moving forward. Whether you shaved ten seconds off your pace or finally made it around the block without stopping — that’s progress, and we celebrate every bit of it.
