HardTracks is in Beta. We are taking on a small number of races this year to test it and make sure it runs well for every runner.

Gap is to the rider ahead in the same category, at the split this rider last passed. Race Radar is an estimate of the finish time from split pace so far.

How HardTracks tracks it

  • A split is a timing point on the course with a volunteer. Today that volunteer writes times down by hand and nobody sees them until later.
  • On HardTracks the split volunteer taps the rider’s plate number on the split link, and the time is on the live page at once.
  • RFID chip mats or readers can time any split, where the race has them.
  • Riders can CHECK IN from their own phone if they choose.

What fans see

  • Each rider’s last split, lap and place in their category.
  • The gap to the rider ahead in their category.
  • A Race Radar estimate for each rider from their split pace.

What directors get

  • Categories and waves, each wave with its own start time.
  • Results by category, and enduro stage results with only the stage times counted.
  • Cross country laps, endurance laps, enduro stages, or gravel and road with splits from start to finish.
