Getting Started in Stay Hard Run

Welcome to Stay Hard Run, a Roblox endurance runner built by Heavy games community and released on February 6, 2026. You spawn on a track built around a simple promise: stay hard — push through fatigue, clear obstacles, and convert distance into permanent power. The game is live on Roblox with online multiplayer servers, still tagged as early development, so expect UI tweaks and balance passes as the audience grows.

This guide covers your first session: what the currencies do, how training differs from racing, where codes fit in, and what to unlock before you rebirth. Bookmark the Guides Hub for deeper topics once the basics click.

Install and join

Launch the experience from the official Roblox page. No Steam or external launcher exists — Roblox only. Pick a public server or play solo; other runners share the world but do not block your progression.

Supported platforms:

• PC — keyboard and mouse, most precise for obstacle timing
• Mobile — touch controls, good for casual sessions
• Controller — supported; see Controls for menu versus movement notes

After load, orient yourself: track ahead, UI on the edges, Codes button on the right side of the screen.

Claim free codes immediately

Before grinding, redeem official promos from the Codes Hub:

Code	Reward
UPDATE1	2,000 points
STAYHARD	5 rebirths
FREEMILES	100 miles

Open Codes, paste exactly, press Redeem. Step-by-step help: How to Redeem Codes. Save rebirth codes until you read How to Rebirth — five free rebirths is huge if spent at the wrong time.

Community codes (RELEASE, FREEREBIRTH) may work but need in-game verification. Troubleshoot failures on Code Troubleshooting.

Understand the core loop

Stay Hard Run revolves around four repeating steps:

1. Train endurance — static or low-speed drills that raise stamina caps
2. Run obstacles — active sections where mistakes cost time and miles
3. Earn points and miles — points buy upgrades and characters; miles track distance prestige
4. Rebirth — reset part of your run for multipliers that stick forever

Later loops add stronger characters (Unlock Characters), heavier weights (Carry Weights), and leaderboard pushes (Leaderboard Tips).

First-hour checklist

Work through this list in order during session one:

1. Redeem UPDATE1 and FREEMILES (hold rebirth codes briefly)
2. Complete any tutorial prompts — they gate UI elements
3. Run three full laps focusing on not falling rather than max speed
4. Spend points on endurance before cosmetic flair
5. Open the character menu and note unlock costs for your next target
6. Practice one obstacle section until you clear it twice in a row
7. Check miles gained versus the Earn Miles Fast baseline

Stopping early to read is fine — progression is marathon, not sprint.

Points: what to buy first

Points fund training tiers and character unlocks. Early spending mistakes trap players in slow runs:

• Priority: endurance training, basic speed where it does not hurt stamina
• Secondary: first character upgrade with clear stat bump — see Unlock Characters
• Low priority: flashy boosts you cannot sustain across a full lap

UPDATE1 grants 2,000 points — enough to skip the slowest early grind if you spend on stats, not shortcuts.

Miles: why distance matters

Miles measure how far you travel across sessions. They gate some unlocks and feed leaderboard comparisons. FREEMILES gives 100 free — treat it as a head start, not a finish line. Learn efficient routing in Earn Miles Fast once you can finish laps without wiping on the same obstacle repeatedly.

When to rebirth (not yet)

Rebirth is the strongest permanent system. It trades short-term stats for long-term multipliers. New players should not rebirth in the first twenty minutes unless a guide tells them to — you need baseline characters and training levels first.

Read How to Rebirth before using STAYHARD. Premature rebirths feel powerful for five minutes, then underperform accounts that waited one more upgrade cycle.

Multiplayer and social notes

Servers are online co-op environments — you see other players, but progression is individual. There is no confirmed official Discord or Trello at launch; avoid random invite links promising leaks. Use Players Hub for population context and Wiki Overview for site-wide navigation.

Your next three pages

After one solid session, read these in order:

1. Controls — tighten input consistency
2. How to Rebirth — plan your first reset
3. Earn Miles Fast — scale distance income

Stay Hard Run rewards patience. Train until obstacles feel boring, then push speed. The “stay hard” mantra is literal — quit on fatigue, not on the first wipe.
