Great event

Great progress tracker

Great way to track my family member during her ultra. I was able to also send her audible encouragement during her run, which she enjoyed receiving from several people during her race.

Kind of useless

It doesn’t really give you tracking info from race gates. It requires the runner to carry a phone and only gives you data from the phone. So if they don’t have their phone on them it thinks they haven’t started. And the splits and results are completely useless.

Inaccurate and clumsy

I’ve run many marathons and the instructions to use (turn it on when I cross the start line? Isn’t that what the bib is for?), the inability to pull up results in a timely fashion, and inaccuracy of my own results were quite discouraging. Terrible app.

Terrible Tracking App

If RaceJoy is the app being used to track runners at your goal marathon, then don’t expect it to work.
