The Start 

The Route

The Finish 

Our events do not use live tracking, however there are many other ways your family & friends can track participants:

1. Strava Beacon 

Compatibility: Apple and Android

Strava Beacon allows runners to share their real-time location with anyone they want. When Beacon is activated, the runner can go into the Strava app and select any contacts they want to send a notification text to with their location. 

The link sent to you via text will open in a browser, so you don't need to have the Strava app, or be a Strava user, to see your runner. 

To find out more, visit the Strava website.

2. Find My 

Compatibility: Apple 

The "Find My Friends" app is available on iPhone and allows users to share their location with friends and family members Here's how it works:

The runner can choose to share their current location with specific individuals for a set period of time or indefinitely. They have control over who can see their location and can customise sharing settings for each person.

The runner can send invitations to friends or family members to share their location. Once the invitation is accepted, you'll see each other's real-time location on a map.

To find out more, visit the Apple website.

3. Google Maps 

Compatibility: Apple and Android

Google Maps offers a feature called "Location Sharing" that allows users to share their real-time location with others. Here's how it works:

Sharing: The runner chooses contacts to share their location with and sets a duration for sharing.
