Before cardio
- Choose activity appropriate for your health, experience, weather, daylight, and route conditions.
- Tell someone where you are going when moving alone.
- Bring appropriate water, visibility gear, identification, and a charged phone.
- Do not begin activity if you feel unwell or conditions are unsafe.
While moving
- Pay attention to roads, crossings, vehicles, bicycles, animals, terrain, and other people.
- Do not operate the app while crossing streets or when attention should remain on movement.
- Stop activity and seek appropriate help for pain, dizziness, breathing difficulty, or another concerning symptom.
- GPS distance and maps can be incomplete or inaccurate. Never depend on Ground Games for emergency navigation.
Meeting people
- Review the host, meeting point, pace, and expectations before attending.
- Prefer public meeting locations and bring a trusted person when appropriate.
- You may leave any gathering at any time.
- Captains and hosts are community organizers, not medical professionals or emergency responders.
Location privacy
Cardio recording may create a route preview. Consider where you start and finish before sharing activity with a crew. Do not publish another person’s private location or movement without permission.
Report or block
Use the safety menu on supported posts, comments, and member profiles. Reporting sends a concern for review. Blocking hides the blocked member’s Crew Wall content from your view and restricts new social interaction, while shared crew or event presence may remain visible.
