Run3D

What Run3D does

Run3D Limited is a UK-based clinical technology company founded in 2012 as an Oxford University spinout that delivers gold-standard 3D gait analysis and musculoskeletal testing services. The core platform uses Vicon infrared motion capture cameras to track 39 reflective markers positioned on anatomical landmarks, measuring joint movement at the pelvis, hips, knees, and ankles at 200 frames per second. Results are processed through Run3D's proprietary custom-built software and compared in real time against an internal database of uninjured runners to identify abnormal patterns and asymmetries. Beyond the core Run3D service, the company has launched Walk3D as a sub-brand targeting active walkers focused on mobility maintenance and fall prevention.

The company operates a hybrid B2B/B2C business model. On the B2B side, Run3D licenses its technology and certification programme to a network of 28 certified partner clinics — 21 across the UK and Ireland, 4 across continental Europe (Netherlands, Belgium, Slovakia, Switzerland), and 3 international sites in Oman, New Zealand, and Singapore. Partner clinics must complete rigorous Run3D training to deliver the service. On the B2C side, the company runs pop-up clinics in new locations and at events such as the National Running Show, charging £295 for a 90-minute Gait and Musculoskeletal Assessment or £165 for a 45-minute Gait Analysis. Additional revenue comes from gait retraining programmes, treatment and rehabilitation add-ons, and recurring clinician training.

Run3D is led by Founder & Director Dr. Jessica Leitch and Managing Director Dr. Jerneja Uhan, with clinical governance from consultant podiatric surgeon Trevor Prior and orthopaedic surgeon David Bruce. The company has offices in Oxford and Bristol in the UK, a US regional office in Palo Alto managed by Dr. Bijan Kiani and Jeff Morgan, and Asia-Pacific representation via Hong-Po Hsieh. Disclosed equity funding totals approximately $203,000 across two 2012-2013 rounds from Oxford Technology Management, supplemented by InnovateUK and Knowledge Transfer Network grants. The company has active research collaborations with the University of Bath, Queen Mary University of London, University of Southampton, and Cardiff Metropolitan University.

Core offering

Run3D provides gold-standard 3D gait analysis and musculoskeletal testing using Vicon infrared motion capture technology integrated with proprietary custom-built software. The service uses 39 reflective markers placed on specific anatomical landmarks to measure joint movements 200 times per second at the pelvis, hips, knees, and ankles, comparing patient results against a database of uninjured controls to identify the root cause of running injuries and optimize performance. Services are delivered through a network of certified partner clinics and pop-up clinics.

Product overview

Run3D is a clinical gait analysis platform offering gold-standard 3D motion capture services for runners and walkers. The core Run3D product uses Vicon infrared technology with custom-built software to provide precise 3D gait analysis and musculoskeletal testing. Walk3D is a related sub-brand targeting active walkers. Services are delivered through a network of certified partner clinics across the UK, Europe, and internationally, as well as through pop-up clinic events. Individualized treatment and rehabilitation programs, gait retraining protocols, and musculoskeletal testing are offered as integrated components of the assessment pathway.
