// hackathons

Identical dev environments for
every participant.

Bring creative minds together from anywhere and give each one the exact same cloud workspace in seconds — no installs, no "works on my machine." Teams collaborate in real time and ship a working demo in hours, not days.

Ready to code in under a minute · any stack

One environment, zero setup

Every participant opens the exact same pre-configured workspace from a single link — the right language, runtime, dependencies and tools already in place. No local installs, no version drift, none of the opening hours lost to "it works on my machine."

One environment, zero setup

Build together, in real time

Share a running workspace and code side by side. Teammates and mentors jump straight into the same session to pair on a fix, unblock a teammate or review progress live — from anywhere in the world.

Build together, in real time

Run a smoother hackathon

Everything organisers need to put participants on a level playing field — and keep the clock spent on building.

Launch from a link

Participants start coding in any browser — laptop, tablet or a borrowed machine. Nothing to download.

Identical for everyone

The same image boots for every team, so judging stays fair and setup is never the blocker.

Any stack, ready to go

Python, Node, Go, Rust, Java and more — pre-installed and pinned to the versions you choose.

Real-time collaboration

Share running workspaces so teams and mentors can pair, debug and review together live.

Secure & isolated

Each workspace runs in its own isolated VM with a fresh passcode on every restart.

Scales to your crowd

Spin up hundreds of environments for a global field, then tear them down when the buzzer sounds.

From kickoff to demo in hours.

Skip the setup scramble. The first commit happens minutes after the theme drops, and every team spends the clock solving real-world problems instead of configuring machines. When time's up, demos run from the very same workspace the judges can open themselves — fair, reproducible and live.

// host with runcode

Bring your hackathon to RunCode.

Tell us about your event and we'll set up identical, ready-to-code environments for every participant — so everyone starts on the same line and ships in hours.
