## What is Star Chaser Run?

StarChaser Run keeps you ahead of every deadline for the Abbott World Marathon Majors — Tokyo, Boston, London, Sydney, Berlin, Chicago, New York City, and new for 2027: Cape Town, Africa's first Major.

Never miss another registration window, lottery deadline, charity entry, or qualification cutoff. Each major's full annual timeline is one tap away, and you can add your own races alongside the Majors.

Features:
• Every important date in one timeline — registration opens and closes, lottery deadlines and results, charity entry windows, qualification cutoffs, expo days, and race day
• "Action Required" section surfaces the deadlines closing in the next 30 days
• Home screen widgets show the closest deadlines at a glance — stack the Countdown and Action Required variants for both views
• Local reminders 7 days and 1 day before every milestone you care about
• Animated route playback on real maps for the full marathon course
• Add your own marathons outside the Majors, with optional GPX course import
• Fully offline — data is fetched once, cached, and works without a connection
• Privacy-first: no accounts, no analytics, no tracking, no data collected

Built for runners chasing their next big race.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.4 — 2026-07-08

• See your live position on the course map — gold trail behind you, course arrow ahead.
• Went off course? Get directions back to the route, with a gentle buzz or a voice prompt in your earbuds.
• One tap rotates the map to match your heading — and you'll get a heads-up if you're running the course backwards.
• New ECO mode cuts GPS battery use on long runs, with a live indicator showing how fresh your position is.

### 1.2.3 — 2026-07-04

• Tap a widget to jump straight to that marathon.
• Widgets now keep their countdowns fresh on their own.
• More accurate race-day dates and times across time zones.

### 1.2.2 — 2026-06-14

Another widget fix: open entry windows now hold their rightful place on the Marathon Countdown widget.

Cape Town's ballot (and other charity/registration windows that are open right now) were being sorted behind deadlines months away, so they could fall off the widget. Now the soonest-closing open window shows where it belongs — counting down to its close date alongside everything else.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-06-13

Quick fix on the heels of 1.2.0: the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon — the newest Abbott World Marathon Major — now shows up on your home screen widgets too, not just inside the app.

If a Cape Town deadline is your closest one, the Marathon Countdown and Action Required widgets will say so, exactly like they do for the other seven Majors.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-06-12

The Abbott World Marathon Majors just grew to eight — Cape Town is in, and its full 2027 timeline is already here.

1.2.0 adds the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon, Africa's first Major:

• Complete 2027 entry timeline — ballot window, results day, charity & tour operator entries, and race day on Sunday 23 May 2027
• Cape Town course on the map with animated route playback
• Its deadlines flow into Action Required, widgets, and reminders like every other Major

Entry dates are tracked live, so whatever stage the 2027 cycle is in when you read this — the next deadline is already on your timeline.
