Race Tracking for races used to be clunky, expensive, and unreliable. And like chip timing, it took us several years before we decided on a solution that we know works well for races – both actual and virtual!
Enter RaceJoy Live Tracking!
These days, over 70% of participants in races carry their phone. So why not use that technology for race tracking? When we first looked at RaceJoy, it was for a little race called The Imogene Pass Run. It wasn’t a great solution back then because over 80% of the course needed to have cell service. In Southwest Colorado, that is simply not always possible.

Now, 7 years and over 1 million downloads later, RaceJoy has improved their race tracking technology so that data is captured and then sent out to a racer’s world upon re-entering cell service.
This solution is lightweight (no extra timing mats or staff!), easy to deploy (turn on the app and press “start”), and almost free!

Most timing companies (including us), charge about $200 per timing point. Now, we can offer that to you for about $2.00 per athlete. And depending on who you use for registration and the size of your event, race tracking can be even less.
