Skamper

A UK running company wanted to turn scattered trails, parks and road runs into one place runners could trust. CodeLeap became their product team, building and maintaining Skamper — a cross-platform app with thousands of verified routes, on-demand races and performance tracking.

What we did CodeLeap is Skamper's ongoing product team — designing, building and maintaining the running app (iOS and Android), its backend and its website across continuous monthly releases, and more recently rebuilding the web experience as a PWA.

Skamper — Mobile app case study Routes and races, one app.

Runners in the UK have thousands of great trails, parks and road routes to choose from, but finding a reliable one — and knowing how you'd fare on it — meant piecing together maps, forums and guesswork. Skamper set out to fix that. They partnered with CodeLeap as their ongoing development team to build and maintain the product: a cross-platform running app, the backend behind it and the website, shipped and improved through steady monthly releases.

What we built

  • Curated route discovery

    Runners browse thousands of verified trail, park and road routes near them, filtered by distance and terrain, each with an elevation profile, reviews and a downloadable GPX file — so every run starts with a route you can trust.

  • GPS tracking with voice coaching

    During a run the app tracks pace, distance and route in real time, with voice coaching to keep you going — built to work reliably outdoors, on the move and away from a strong signal.

  • On-demand races and leaderboards

    Any route can become a race whenever you choose. Runners compare their times on inclusive leaderboards, so you can compete against yourself or the wider community without turning up to a fixed event on a set day.

  • Race time predictions

    After a single completed run, the app estimates your likely finishing time on other routes in the library — so you can pick a route that fits the effort and pace you're after, before you set off.

Why this matters to you:

Skamper turns running around Britain from guesswork into something you can plan, trust and measure. Whether you want a new trail near home, a race against your own best time or a clear read on how you're improving, it lives in one product CodeLeap has built and kept evolving for the way runners actually run.
