SAUTEE, Ga. - June 14, 2013 - PRLog -- Start-up company, Sociercise,LLC, announced today that they have released version 1.4 of the Sociercise Real Time Running Races (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sociercise-real-time-running/id567206550?ls=1&mt=8) app for iPhone.  The newest release of the stand-out app has many new features, most importantly, support for virtual charity races through the company's unique platform.  The charity races are a new way for foundations, non-profits, and charity organizations to raise funds through the activities of running and walking.

With the combination of the Sociercise App and website an organization can host a virtual fundraising event that is not limited to a specific geographic location or time.  An event on the platform lasts 3-5 days with a registration and pledge period of about two weeks.   Runners in the event can use their custom running page on the company website to solicit pledges for each mile that they complete during the event period.   Once the running begins runners are able to run anywhere they want, as often as they want, and their running data will be tracked with the Sociercise App for iPhone.  When the running period is finished the total distances and the donations are calculated automatically.

The company's co-founder, Bobby Valentine, said "This is a great opportunity for non-profits of any size to raise money through the simple act of running.  The Sociercise platform eliminates the need of costly permits, dozens of volunteers, and upfront cash outlays that prevent many organizations from hosting traditional running events.  A Sociercise Charity Race can also be paired with a real race event to maximize support and participation."  

Charities wishing to create an event on the Sociercise platform can contact the company and have their event created within 48 hours.  In addition to the charity races, version 1.4 of Sociercise Real Time Running Races has added features that enable runners to join groups, race against their previous performances, and create their own custom races.  

Sociercise, LLC is a technology start-up located in Sautee Nacoochee, GA.  The company is focused on creating technology solutions that motivate and inspire people to improve themselves and their communities.  Sociercise has released one iPhone application to date, Sociercise Real Time Running Races which allows users to compete in real-time running races against other users, track all of their running data, and raise money for charities.
