Two options for runner tracking
-
#1 – OFFICIAL RUNNER RESULTS can be tracked every 4-9 miles by chip, and viewed LIVE on Race Results.
-
#2 – RACEJOY for mile by mile with your phone! Runners’ location and pace can be tracked via GPS each mile through the RACEJOY APP .
An overview of each is below. Click here for a printable pdf of the 2 options – Page 1 is for runners, and Page 2 is for spectators.
Option 1 - Tracking official race results from the chip
The chip in your bib (or baton) times you automatically on the course at mile 6.5, 10.3, 16.2, 20.2, 26.2, for the marathon and relay. 15K and Mile 13.1 for the Half. Mile 3.9 and 10 for the Urban 10.
Click on Race Results for live results – spectators can track runners/teams during the race. These are the official results.

Technology is not perfect!
We love technology. We know it works on our end – the sending part. But when we mix in different cell phone carriers receiving your updates of live results, or have cell phone areas that are limited, we cannot guarantee the person on the receiving end gets your update in a timely fashion. For relays in particular – use these tools as a general guide for your last runner or two, but do not use it as a precise tool.
