The sure way for you to get seen on race day!
On October 9, 2016 more than 40,000 runners will participate in the 2016 Chicago Marathon to strive to meet their personal goals. More than 1 million spectators will cheer them on through the streets of Chicago.
How will you spot your favorite runner(s) in a field of 40,000+?
RacerChaser™ can help!
RacerChaser gives runners and their fans the tools they need to maximize the race day marathon experience!
* Runners: create a race plan with a variable mile-by-mile pace and share it with friends (share your user name when you create your account). Link your iPhone to your profile and carry it with you on race day for race day tracking.
* Spectators: Link to your runners and use their race plans to plot your viewing strategy on race day. Mile-by-mile projected arrival times for one or more racers. Projected position on the course and projected next mile marker arrival time.
* An interactive map*** of the complete course (mile markers and CTA train stations clearly labeled).
* Current racing conditions, a race countdown/elapsed time clock, and current weather information***.
*Racer tracking (if Racer carries a linked and fully-charged iPhone 4s or later with them during the race)***
* Spectator strategies to help you spot your runners as many times along the course as possible.
* In-app twitter and photos let you share the race day experience.
***Please Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
***Indicates that these features require an Internet connection via cellular or WiFi to function.
Note:
This is not an official Marathon App and is independently produced for the benefit of spectators. The app does NOT support individual runner tracking using the chip attached to the runners shoe.
We dont recommend that marathon participants use this app during the actual event. They need to focus their attention on the race!
