- If it is not yet race day, you will see a Practice Race button instead of a Start button. Practices can be reset and restarted as many times as desired.
- It is recommended that you complete at least one training run to familiarize yourself with how the app works.
- Be sure to check out the two map trackers. One is the EVENT map which will track your progress as if you were on the actual MRR course. The other map tracks where you are actually running.
On RACE DAY
- During the Race Window (Thursday, Nov 25, 6:00am (EST) thru Friday, Nov 26, 6:00pm (EST)), your in-app Practice Race button will become a START button. Use the app to complete your distance on the course of your choice.
- Open the application: Download the MRR App
- Once your profile is selected, click the “START RACE” button
- YOUR PHONE IS YOUR TIMING "CHIP"!
- Leave the app running in the background - Do not close it out completely on your phone (do not swipe-kill the app).
- We do NOT recommend that you run on a track. GPS may jump across the track and make it appear that you have un a shorter distance.
- Upon completion of your race, the app will automatically transmit your results to our timer – The Last Mile Timing.
- You can race as many times as you like but only your LAST race is presented in the results. Not your fastest.
- After you complete your race you can use the app to see your Finish time, Finisher Badge, take a Finisher Selfie and share it to your supporters and fans.
- Friends and Family can use the app on their mobile device or the web based tracker to follow your progress along the course.
Remember: If you are a family of runners and don’t own sufficient phones for your entire family, please use the “Running With Me” feature on the app.
