## What is Faces Events?

Faces is your companion for South Africa's biggest cycling events.

LIVE RIDER TRACKING
See exactly where your friends and family are on the route in real time. No more wondering where they are or when they'll cross the finish line — follow their GPS pin live on the map.

EVENTS COVERED
• Ride Joburg (947, 94.7 Cycle Challenge)
• Trailseeker MTB Series
• More events added regularly

FOR RIDERS
• Broadcast your live position to family and friends with one tap
• See your live position on the official event map
• Sync your ride to Strava when you finish
• Save your favourite routes for training

FOR SPECTATORS
• Search any rider by name or race number
• Watch their live GPS pin move along the route
• See pace, distance, and ETA to the finish

PRIVACY FIRST
• Live tracking is only active when you start a ride — never in the background by default
• Spectators only see your first name and GPS pin during an active ride
• You can stop sharing at any time

Built by riders, for riders. Visit faces.africa for the full event calendar.
