Praise for the 2012 LIVESTRONG Austin Marathon and Half Marathon App

Does the runner have to run with their mobile device in order for me to track them?

No, absolutely not. Our system has real-time access to the timing system used at the race. As long as the runner runs with their timing tag (supplied with their bib), you’ll be able to track them.

Is there an Android version of the App?

Yes, the Android version has been released. Please click here to download.

I’ve downloaded the app, but I can’t find myself under Runner Tracking nor Results. What’s up?

Runner registration information is entered into the app database as it becomes available. A final, complete update will be entered the night before the race. On February 19, 2012, you’ll be able to use the full Runner Tracking and Results functionality.

What’s the difference between your app and apps that provide GPS based tracking?

1)     In this app, the runner does not have to run with their mobile device in order to be tracked. Our app accesses the timing system used along the course real-time. It is not dependent on GPS signal strength, GPS availability, nor the battery life of a smartphone device.

2)     Our app is the Official Mobile Application for the 2012 LIVESTRONG Austin Marathon and Half Marathon and allows a spectator to search the official race registration for an athlete to follow.

3)     Our app provides ETA's (Estimated Times of Arrival) to specific points along the course, including the finish line.
