Both apps play voice notes from family and friends at every mile. Here is how Back My Run goes further on race day — offline playback, downloadable messages and unlimited training runs.
Marathon Voice Notes That PlayAt Every Single Mile
There is a moment in every race — somewhere after mile 18 — when your legs are heavy, your mind goes quiet, and you wonder why you signed up at all. That is exactly when a voice from someone you love changes everything. Back My Run is a marathon voice notes app that plays encouragement from your family and friends automatically at every mile marker, so you never run alone.
Searching for Rally or a Rally alternative? Back My Run is built around the same idea — then goes further with offline playback, downloadable messages you keep forever, and unlimited training runs all year.
How voice notes at every mile work
Choose your race from thousands of events all over the world, then share your personal link. Friends and family record short messages tied to specific mile markers — no app download and no account needed for them. On race day you simply put in your headphones, start the app, and your motivational voice notes play one by one as you reach each mile. The app even lowers your music or podcast so you never miss a word, then brings your audio back to normal.
Built for every distance, anywhere
Whether you are running your first 5K, a 10K, a half marathon, a full marathon or a custom distance, Back My Run spreads your messages evenly across the route. Browse supported events on our races page, and if your event is not listed yet, get in touch — we add new races from across the globe every day.

The voices that carried you through 26.2 miles are worth keeping. With Back My Run you can download every voice note after the finish line and replay it any time — a permanent reminder of the people who believed in you. It is the kind of race day experience you will want long after the medal goes in a drawer.
