Live tracking
Turning on live tracking for a race, your link and share picture, Findable by anyone, going live and your followers.
- How do I turn on live tracking for a race?Open the race to edit it, or add a new one, and switch on Live tracking. Your link appears with your share picture and Findable by anyone. It takes effect at once. On race day, you go live from the RunFast app on your phone, and people follow you from your link.
- How do I go live on race day?Two hours before the gun your phone reminds you, with Go live on the notification. Or open the race in the RunFast app on your iPhone or Android phone, tap Go live, check your start and plan, and tap Start live tracking. Live tracking must be on for that race first. Your phone sends your position every 30 seconds, and it stops by itself at the finish.
- How do I share my live tracking?Turn on Live tracking for your race, then tap Share, Save the picture or WhatsApp under your share picture. Or tap ⋯ on the race in Runs and choose Share my live tracking. People get a tall picture of you, your race, your goal and the course, with your link to follow you live.
- What does Findable by anyone do?Findable by anyone is a switch in a race’s live tracking. On, anyone can find you by your name and follow you, and you’re on the live map of your club’s races you’re in. Off, the default, only people with your link can follow you. It only counts while Live tracking is on for that race.
- What is my follow link, and how do I reset it?Your follow link, runfast.tech/f/ and a short code, is how people follow you on race day, with no account. It shows when you turn on Live tracking for a race, and in the app under You, then Followers. Tap Reset for a new one: the old link stops working for anyone who only had it.
- How do I see, approve or remove my followers?In the RunFast app, open You, then Followers. Everyone who follows you in the app is listed, marked With your link or Approved, and Remove takes anyone off straight away. If someone asks to follow you, they appear under Wants to follow you: tap Accept or Decline.
