Competitor Tracking
Competitor Tracking will be active for the 5km, 7.5km and 10km events.
Reference Guide: Dark Colour are Males and Light Colour are Females.
The tracking application is provided by RaceMap. The maps below can be used within this website but for best results the RaceMap app should be installed from either your apple or android store.
Viewer Information
1. You can locate a participant by tapping on the search box and either scrolling down until you find them or type in their name or number.
2. A participant in the search area who is bold means that they are being detected and should appear on the map, a participant who is faded means that more detections are required to determine their position and hence appear on the map.
3. If you click on the persons name it will highlight them in the map. You can highlight multiple people.
4. The information below the participant refers to i) their speed, ii) their distance completed, iii) elevation from sea level and iv) distance to finish.
5. You can zoom in and out on the map and even change it’s orientation – this is a lot easier to do in the app.
Key points about the tracking we use for this event.
1. The data used for the tracking is collected by transmitters sitting on track boxes located around the course.
2. It will usually take a few minutes after the race has started for a competitor to appear on the screen.
3. The race tracking is “predictive” only and the competitors position on the map can change due to alterations in speed and conditions. It relies totally on the timing chip being detected by the transmitters.
