What if technology could subtly solve many challenges for races and fitness challenges?
The most popular running app for routes with navigation has a full suite of features to take your event experience to the next level, available for small local events and trusted by the top marathons in the world:
Features of races powered by RunGo
Highest rated course creation & sharing
Does your race have a course? Then your participants want to see it and interact with it. Instead of static image files, make sure it's interactive. Embed it on your site; don't link away!
Embrace ad-free instead of cluttered route creators. Combine your route, written course description, elevation, aid stations, GPX/TCX export, and branding... only with RunGo.
Create a route anytime here.
Audio-guided keeps you safely on course and engaged
Sure, this part is optional. Some participants will enjoy an audio-guided run. They won't get lost, and they'll know the roads and trails they run on and the stories of things they pass. You'll love that your virtual or remote runners can enjoy motivational and memorable audio messages from your team, sponsors, partners, or a surprising celebrity.
Digital signage is the ideal compliment to course signage and volunteers. These all are prone to error. Digital is your perfect backup.
Tired of solo, non-unique virtual races?
Learn about Open Course Racing, where participants safely follow your course within a window of time, or Remote Course Racing, where they can simulate running your course from anywhere in the world.
RunGo features Virtual Modes to feel like they're on the course: audio-messages, local stories, sponsor activations, coach surprises, and Live Street View to watch the route as they progress through it.
All-in-one leaderboard
Connect all your participants' runs to a web-based and embeddable leaderboard, including:
options for course or cumulative or multi-course ranking
digital achievement badges
badges commemorated as NFTs (example on OpenSea)
all-participant mileage goals and virtual map
CSV export to sync with other timing systems
manual submission forms
Promote your race within the popular RunGo app, and let your participants generate branded finish line selfies with their run stats.
Unrivalled Race Live Tracking
Each participant can create a web-based link for friends and family to follow their progress. This is optimized for very little data and battery usage.
Races can create an all-participant live tracking webpage, to monitor all runners on course, prepare for race logistics, and monitor participants who may have gone off-track.
Simpler course timing
RunGo offers hardware-free course timing. No RFID, chips, popsicle sticks, or Tyvek (in global shortage!).
This is leading-class solution for virtual races. If your real-world race matters to the tenth of a second, this isn't for you. If GPS verification, scalability, and cost matter, RunGo could be your solution.
