Great for runners and spectators
Ideal for tracking competitors

Great Run Race App
I found the app easy to use and could track friends and fellow runners easily. Having timing sensors at intermediate points is great. One mild criticism is that the pace times for 5k & Commentator positions were in minutes per mile and I noticed some of the HM splits were in minutes per km. Perhaps show both?
2024-10-07
AGBell Run App
Brilliant app really add to the experience of doing any of the big races
2024-10-06

2024-10-06
So easy to use
all my mates tracked me. it was sick.

2024-10-06
App review
The app was brilliant as a spectator. The tracking was great as I was following 4 family members and it was so helpful to know their location and also their estimated finish time. Also the information about the whole event was very clear and easy to access.

2024-09-09
Great app to show weāre family and friends are on the race
Without the app Iām not sure we would have seen our family members and friends run past us. It also was great to monitor how they were progressing and was like they were in their own race between each other. Great tool!!!
2024-09-08

GNR tracking app
Awesome tracker - able to pinpoint exactly where we could meet up with our family runner to cheer her on
2024-09-08
Useful
Great how you can track and get notifications all along the route very helpful when you looking out for people you know doing a run. Right on time with whereabouts of who you are tracking and able to check in on multiple runners as they go.
2024-09-08
Great north run.
We found this app brilliant, our daughter was going the run but we could not watch her, but this app made us believe we were with her every moment of the way.
2024-09-08
Amazing opportunity to watch my daughter in the GNR
It was absolutely amazing to be able to watch my daughterās progress in the Great North Run, her first half marathon. She raised over Ā£1,000 for Ataxia UK (my 19 yr old grandson has Friedrichās Ataxia). I loved the mile markers and the running countdown with how far sheād run and how far still to go. Also the notifications were great at key marker points. Thank you for the app and allowing me to virtually spectate from miles away!
2024-09-08
Excels at the job
Perfect for tracking

Great GNR tracking App
I used the App today for tracking a couple of runners in the GNR race. The App was quick to respond showing where the runners were, how fast they were running, predicted times at each mile and when they were predicted to finish.
There were also lots of other features that were good too!
Excellent, well done!
2024-09-08
Great app, brilliant šš¼
The app was so much better than I was expecting, I love the tracking functionality and the map with details of water and mile markers. Was so easy to get breakdown info. Great to see where my friends were at any given moment!
2024-09-08
GNR 2024
Amazing app. Allows me follow my two daughters from across in Northern Ireland. Constant updates in real time and following the map is great fun. I wish the TV or yourselves could set up a channel to allow everyone watch the masses cross the finish line. Post lung surgery Heatherās race time increased so they ended up further behind the masses of runners and finishing time is after 2pm when TV cuts off.
The two girls, Catherine and Heather have now completed 600 miles running in full and half marathons. Catherine participated in a Half Iron and Heather now plays Masters hockey heading to South Africa for the World Cup in October.
I love watching thisā¦ keep it up and donāt hesitate if anyone can suggest fine improvements. Well done #proudmum
2024-09-08
GNR 2024
First time using a tracker. 5 members of my family running and this app made it so special. We could see all their milestones and from a safety aspect knew where lone runners were at all times. Much more fun than standing at the finish line in the rain
2024-09-08
Very easy to use.
This app is brilliant. It gave a multitude of information about the runner we were tracking including their location (which was accurate), their times and when they started and finished. All you need to get started is the runners race number!
2024-09-08
AJBell great north run app
Easy to download. I used the app to track 2 people in the Great North Run and it never failed. I was able to access the data easily for both participants. Up to date data recorded. I would use it again if I had anyone running in races I could track. Well done as we was unable to spectate it was lovely to track them in real time. Thank you
2024-09-08
Great app
We really enjoyed supporting our ādaddyā my husband with the kids not being able to get there to support him we had it on the tv and the app watching him all the way and giving the family updates are great!
2024-09-08
Fabulous app
I was able to track a family member very easily as he ran today as I couldnāt make it in person
2024-07-07
Peace of mind
My son started running in his late 30s and itās still a concern that something unexpected may happen to him whilst running. I love that I can track his progress and share in his achievements through this app.
2024-05-26
Found her !
Fantastic app to help spectators to track and located friends and family taking part . We were able to plan our route and amongst the thousands I was able to see my daughter! Very proud moment ā¤ļø
2023-10-15
Great south run !!
I had 2 sisters running in the race today but were not running together .. I was able to track each one at different times and areas . The actual run runs through the end of my street was able to go out and spur them on at different times I thought it was wonderful
2023-10-01
Following the half marathon.
This app was brilliant for us to follow our sons progress in the Glasgow Half Marathon today. We live in Sussex and could see where he was and how he was doing then seeing his time and when he finished! Really a super app.
2023-10-01
Works really well!
Found my partner east with her bib number and was able to see where she was on the course! The location was ever so slightly out but not by too much!
The splits information (5km, 10km time etc) that you get notifications on is a really nice feature too!
2023-10-01
Great app
Good updates and reminders in the run up to the event. Got my finish time immediately. Tracking was accurate and allowed my (faster) fellow runner to get a photo of me crossing the finish line.
2023-09-10
Great North Run
Thank you this helped us track our family then find them at the finish . Very helpful but did crash at 7 Mile probably through sheer volume of people .
2023-09-10
Great Run App
I used the App all day to track and monitor a selection of runners, including family members, that were taking part in the Great North Run in aid of the charity at the school I work for. It was amazing and really helped me to support them throughout the day.
2023-09-10
Fab App to Have
This app was brilliant as I was able to follow my son, who was taking part, whilst I was at Home in Leeds. I could see exactly where he was all the way and even though I couldnāt see him it was a comfort to know that he made it through without having to wait for a phone call !
2023-09-10
Much better this year
The app was very good at predicting finish times for my runners and that was brilliant as I was stood near the end. However it did fail at about 1.30 and I couldnāt refresh it. I knew the expected times of my runners by then. Breakdowns were good and the way I could access the data was good šš¼
2023-09-10
Great to follow specific runners
Easy to set up and see specific runners either on a map or in a list with times per mile and per km. Alerts at every mile completed and an estimated finish time. Very good.
2023-09-10
A great tracking tool
It was lovely to be able to track our granddaughter every step of the way. A useful and informative app
2023-09-10
Fantastic app for GNR!
Couldnāt be there in person, but this was the next best thing. To be able to track 5 members of my family throughout the race, with such detailed and live information was great. Thank you
2023-09-10
Kept up to date
This App allowed me to monitor my friends progress during the GNR, the level of detail it gave incorporated with the zero loss of connectivity made it easy for me to get give much needed encouragement when it was needed. I would definitely recommend this Application.
2023-09-10
Great to track friends and family
Easy to use. See where they are at a glance. Notifications at mile markers etc. Reassuring and know when theyāve finished. Grab the gra (great run app!)
2023-09-10
Great App
This is my first time using this app. Itās fantasticšš½ friends and family call follow the participants. I love the map. The break down of timings and the photo ordering facility.
Would recommend.
2023-09-10
Very informative
I was tracking a few people running the Great North Run and I was very impressed with the app. Only had to type their names in and I was getting regular notifications of their progress along the course. The map was a nice touch too
2023-09-10
GNR
Great, was able to track my jogging colleagues, little interruption when one participant tracker stopped for 30 mins but started again once through a significant trigger point.
Easy to you use, even for an old person š¤£š¤£š¤£

Following the Great Manchester Run
I loved this app, I couldnāt go and watch my daughter run but I followed her every step with this app. Loads of information given with times and averages, simple to use and free! Thank you.
2023-05-14
Very Good
I like it but would add where you are in the map in comparison to the runners your tracking as would make it easier to know where you are
2022-10-16
Clear and easy app
Downloaded this to track friends & family running GSR today. Despite poor internet coverage around course area, tracking map and app continued to work seamlessly. So impressed! Meant we could get along to various points to cheer on family by tracking them. Brilliant!
2022-10-16
Great South Run Tracking
This was really great to be able to track a friend running in this - it meant I could get to the right spot at the right time to give her a little cheer! Interesting to read all of the stats as well! Many thanks!

Glasgow half marathon runner Dr Jake Liu
Our son was running the Glasgow half marathon and told us about this app. How brilliant! It was wonderful to be able to track him and to do it in real time alongside other family members.
2022-09-11
Great app for participants, family and friends
Itās been really useful. Had all the info I needed and friends and family loved being able to track me
2022-09-11
Spectator
Excellent addition to the organisation of the GNR. My husband, who was at home, was able to follow our family member during the run, but some of us on The Leas couldnāt get an internet signal so we couldnāt always track. Itās a pity, but not the fault of the organisers. Well done.
2022-09-11
Good tracker
Used this to keep check on 4 family members running the GNR, with there vest numbers gave mile checks, pinpointed on map ( good map & easy to read) and constant updates.
Will use again next year. Well done
2022-09-11
Great to track
Have used the app previously when taking part in events. However, today I used it to track my son completing the Great North Run, it was fabulous šš»
2022-05-22
Great Run app
Everything in one place and instant notifications of progress of those the user is tracking. This meant I was in the perfect spot to cheer my wife to the finish after I had completed my run in an earlier wave.
2022-05-22
Super useful
Great app allowing you to track the runnersā location/knowing when they are approaching the spectator(s) so you can hopefully spot them to cheer them on! Itās great that you get update notifications on their progress and the photos are uploaded in good time once theyāve crossed the finish line!! Highly recommended download šš»
2022-05-22
Just what the Doctor ordered
A simple app with some very useful features. I used the app leading up to the Great Manchester Run, during so friends and family could track my progress and afterward to check my times and official photographsā¦recommended!

Birmingham Great Run
Followed my daughter all the way which was wonderful as I couldnāt attend in person & this was her first half marathon!! Really impressed especially with photos too!! Thank you
