GPS Tracking + App

Be on the lookout for instructions to download the race app and how to track your athlete using MapProgress trackers that will be provided on race day:

MAPProgress GPS Trackers will be utilized to track runners on the course. 

1. One tracker is issued per team; pass this between runners at the exchanges

2. The staff will power it on at the start

3. If your tracker is not worn facing up and loses the connection during a run or between runners, simply hold down the center “footprint” button until the GPS light begins blinking again

4. It’s okay if it’s not connected the entire time. As long as you occasionally reset it so your team, our staff and spectators from afar can get an updated location

5. Finally, the most important feature is that the SOS button can be pushed in case of an emergency. Doing so will contact local authorities via the Garmin Emergency Response team

6. The link to track your progress will be on the website, in the app and viewable to anyone including your family and friends- so please share!

Download the Endurance HQ App for your use on race weekend! It will have links to each exchange location, strava segment, tips on where to eat/drink/get gas/etc, links to contact the race team and other very important information! Instructions for downloading will be send race week
