Great For Feeling Connected From Afar

We could not get to our son's first marathon, but we were so glad to be able to "follow" him in real time! The app somehow guessed his progress for the first 4 miles, and it was pretty accurate, since at the first official split he was pretty close to the estimate. After that, there were 3 more updates and then the finish. A notification sounds at each update, and unofficial results are immediately available. This app greatly relieved me of typical "mom worrying".

App doesn’t actually track location of runner!

I “tracked” my cousin on the app for the entire marathon and was planning on cheering him on around mile 23. It said he was almost a mile away from my location when all of the sudden he passed me. I was totally caught off guard and didn’t get a picture because I thought he was still 10 min away. My other family members were at a different location of the race, and the app said he already passed when he hadn’t yet. We were all very confused. I don’t see the point in “tracking” a person when it’s not actually their location. Milestones were accurate, but the tracker was terrible. I would have been better off not using the app at all.

Hi Hanley15, We appreciate hearing about your experience. Congratulations to your cousin on their Marathon. The tracking provides estimated locations based on the timing data received at the checkpoints (milestones) to provide a best estimate as to the athlete based on their pace data. The estimates can be affected by a variety of factors - an athlete's change in pace, be it a speed up or slow down between the checkpoints, pit stops, etc.

I am 68 and my technology skills stopped about 10 yrs ago😂. But my son sent me this App because he thought I would enjoy tracking his wife. A friend helped me set it up…and I loved it SO much. What a joy to know where she was & how she was doing! And to celebrate when she crossed the Finish Line. 🥹🎉I wish I could’ve been there in person. But this was absolutely the next best thing. Whonu?!?! Thank you so much.

Not “real-time” tracking

Despite the race, and RTRT advertising tracking as “real-time”, turns out it was nothing but that. The “real-time” tracking ended up being merely estimations based on participants timing data at split points. It’s very concerning to expect a family member getting to an aid station at a certain time, having them not arrive anywhere close to that time, and then finding relief that they passed the point ahead of what was estimated but their “real-time” estimations are now not even near what they should be since their timing chip wasn’t read at the split point so the estimations become even more worthless going forward in the race.
