More information

During initialization of the app, the “event tracker” screen will open. On this screen, you can link the runner’s unique start number to the mobile device.

You can search by name or by start number.

Spectators or people at home can opt to “skip” this step; the app will be passive and not register a GPS signal.

After connection to the mobile device, you can be followed. A green light will flash to indicate a GPS connection and to confirm that the app is ready for use.

GPS tracking begins the moment the race starts, and it ends at the finish line. Before the start of the event, you can turn the tracker on and off in the Option menu.

If you are a spectator or want to follow someone from the comfort of your home, you can select “skip”. You can follow a maximum of five participants via the “tracker” tab. You can add or delete participants; you can also add yourself to the tracker. Tracker allows you to follow someone through the race time predictor, which is calculated through the RFID chip registrations. You will see the exact chip registration and running time calculator within seconds of passing registration points. You will also see the estimated

race time prediction.

If you don’t possess a smartphone the RFID registration chip attached to the start number or handle bar number will be used to track you or your friends.
