Discovering, joining and creating activities is free. Some hosts charge for their own costs — venue, gear, entry — and that's shown on the activity before you join.

No. Most people arrive on their own. You can see who else is going and what they're into before you commit.

No. Spurth uses an approximate area to sort activities by distance. Precise meeting points are only visible to people who have joined.

Posts made after an activity — photos and a few words, linked back to the activity they came from, so the next person can find it and join.

Yes. Toggle it on when you create the activity — anyone else has to request to join and you approve them, while people you invite directly get in right away.

Hosts can reschedule or cancel from the activity page any time. Everyone who's joined gets notified immediately.

A quick phone verification, yes — it keeps events real. Joining an activity never requires it.

Every activity, post, and profile has a report option, and it's reviewed by our team — not automatically hidden, so nothing disappears from one bad-faith report.
