Start out safely, together

Your control does not end at the match.

PaceMate helps you choose contacts deliberately, plan first meet-ups sensibly and report inappropriate behaviour.

MATCH

Mutual interest

A match and a direct chat only come about once both people have shown interest.

SAFE

Report and block

Chats can be reported with a reason and an optional comment. Blocked contacts disappear from the connection.

TEAM

Groups under control

Hosts can offer open sessions or approve every join request individually.

For your first session

Four simple recommendations.

No system replaces attention. These basics help when meeting someone new for the first time.

01Pick a public place

Meet at a starting point that is easy to reach, busy and unambiguously named.

02Agree the route first

Distance, pace, terrain and planned duration should be clear to both of you.

03Tell someone

Let a person you trust know where you are training and with whom.

04Trust your instincts

You can end a request, a chat or a meet-up at any time.

Help and reports

When something feels wrong.

Use the report function inside the chat, block the contact and end the conversation. In case of acute danger, contact your local emergency services directly. For general feedback, write to feedback@pacemate.de.
