Good questions

What sports can I play?
PickUp Play starts with matchmaking for racquet sports like tennis, plus running, walking and cycling routes. We're adding more as the community grows.
Is it free?
Yes — PickUp Play is free to download and free to start. Find a game, race a route, or start a streak today.
What's a ghost pacer?
A pace benchmark you race against on any route — tuned to real performance tiers, from beginner and club-runner up to Elite. It means there's always a challenge to chase, even on a quiet morning.
What data does PickUp Play use?
We use location and motion data to match you with nearby games and trace your routes — and you're always in control of what you share. See our Privacy Policy for details.
