Glass City Marathon has partnered with Racejoy to provide tracking information for runners & their progress on race day. The app picks up runner information as they cross timing mats along the race route & sends alerts to family or friends. You can even set your app to post automatically to Facebook or Twitter! The app works with a chip attached to your bib & is free to download. Please note: it is not necessary to carry your phone for friends to receive these updates.

There is a nice tutorial explaining: the app on race day, training days, how to set your phone so others can track your progress in "real time", how to shut this feature off when finished, how to personalize your screen, etc. Please note: the "actual time" feature requires the runner to carry their phone & has a minor charge for athlete as well as spectator. There is an option to send audio cheer clips, as well.

The app seems pretty straight forward & helpful. You can customize the basic/free application to incorporate other helpful features.

It is a great free provision, brought to you by the Glass City Marathon.
