What is livedot?
Updated
livedot (livedot.me) is a live tracking platform for sports events, for running and cycling, anywhere in the world. RunFast is part of the livedot family: livedot.me is where people follow runners and riders live, across both apps. Race organisers and clubs can get their event live, with a page at livedot.me/their-name, at livedot.me/organisers.
livedot and RunFast
livedot is a live tracking platform for sports events. It has two apps: RunFast for running and Windline for cycling. RunFast is part of the livedot family: livedot.me is where people follow runners and riders live, across both apps.
RunFast stays the app you know: the weather at your pace, your runs and races, your club and live tracking on race day all work as before, with the same free account. livedot is the shared home where your supporters, and anyone following a rider, find everyone in one place.
Follow anyone, live, at livedot.me
Open livedot.me in any browser, on any phone or computer. No app and no account.
- Find someone by name: runners and riders who switched on Findable by anyone can be found by name, from either app.
- Live now: the races being tracked right now, in both sports, on one map.
- Clubs and organisers: search by name, or go straight to their page at livedot.me and their name.
- Your people: the runners and riders you follow, with whoever is live first. They’re kept on that device.
Opening a runner takes you to RunFast’s own live page, with their dot on the course, their pace, when they’ll finish and the heat where they are, coloured stretch by stretch. From there you can give them a tap on the back. See what the live map shows.
Try it any time on the demo race: Comrades, with 200 simulated runners. See the live demo.
What you share stays your choice
livedot shows only what RunFast already shows publicly:
- You appear in livedot’s search only if you switched on Findable by anyone for that race.
- Everyone else follows you only with the link you share, or after you accept their request. See approving followers.
- livedot never shows an email address or a phone number.
You choose all of this in the race’s live tracking. See turning on live tracking.
Your club at livedot.me
A RunFast club page also has an address at livedot.me, the same name as on RunFast: runfast.tech/c/your-club is livedot.me/your-club. It shows the club’s races live now, what’s coming up and what’s been. A club that also rides with Windline gets running and cycling on one page. See adding your club.
Race organisers: get your event live
Organising a road race, a trail race or an ultra? Fill in the form at livedot.me/organisers. A real person replies by email and sets up your page and your race with you. Your runners go live from the RunFast app on race day, and everyone following sees the whole field on one map, with the heat where each runner is.
To see how it looks first, open the example page, with both demo races live.
Is it free?
Yes. livedot, RunFast and Windline are free for organisers, runners, riders and everyone following, thanks to the platform sponsor, ProLend. See is RunFast free.
