FOR RACE DIRECTORS
Ways we track
Every race is different. HardTracks fits the way your race runs.
Races we track
Aid station check ins
Every aid station checks athletes in on any phone. Nothing to rent and nothing to set up on course.
Hybrid
Chip timing where you have mats, aid station check ins everywhere else, all in one live picture.
Chip timing (RFID)
Your timing system’s reads flow straight onto the live page.
Athlete phones
Each athlete gets their own link, with no app. If they choose, they can tap Check in to send their spot and a note, and I have an issue sends Race Control their location. The race can also turn on phone tracking, so the phone sends its spot along the way. Between check ins the live page shows an estimate and labels it. A check in made with no signal is saved on the phone and sends by itself when a bar comes back.
Runner check ins
Runners who want to can tap Check in on their own link anywhere on the course. One location per tap, never a running trail, placed on their course.
Texts in the field
Send safety alerts and race updates by text to athletes, crews and volunteers on the course. A text often gets through where data won’t. We set it up with you.
Safer too. Every way we track also keeps your race safer: you always know where each athlete was last seen. See the safety tools.
