Our story

Built by runners.

GoXC started with two best friends from a Utah cross country team — and the kids who, twenty years later, put them right back at the finish line. This is the app they built for them.

01 · HOW IT STARTED

Two teammates.
Twenty years. One app.

In the early 2000s, Trenton Parker and his best friend ran together for Bingham High in Utah — the teammates who dragged each other through every interval and every freezing-cold morning long run.

Life pulled them in different directions, but they stayed best friends. Years later they realized their kids were the same age, running for the same high school in Utah County. Just like that, they were back at the finish line with a stopwatch — only now they were cheering on their own kids.

Following a season still meant a mess of group texts and mileage scribbled on the back of a race bib. So the two dads built a little app to help their kids log their miles and watch themselves get faster.

Word got around the team. Then the parents wanted in. Then other schools started asking. What began as two old teammates standing at a meet grew, season by season, into GoXC.

02 · WHAT WE BELIEVE

A few non-negotiables.

The principles we started with, and the ones we won't trade away as we grow.

Made for the sport, not adapted to it

Tempo, intervals, long runs, splits, meets. We build around the vocabulary a coach already uses, not a generic activity feed.

Safe because it's young people

Most of our users are minors, so private-by-default, parent oversight, and no ads aren't features. They're the floor.

A team sport, online too

Running is lonely enough. The app should make the team feel close — quiet kudos, shared weeks, the whole roster on one page.

Free for the people running

Athletes and parents never pay. We earn from programs and athletic departments who want admin tools on top.

"We just wanted to give our kids what we had growing up — a teammate in their corner for every single mile."

Runners who build software.

A small team split between people who raced and people who ship. Most of us are both.
