About

Workotrack

Features
Read full description

Workotrack puts everyone in an endurance event on one live map. Taking part? Enter the code your organiser gave you, turn sharing on at the start, and put your phone away. Your position appears on the event's map until you stop or the event's window closes, which it does on its own. Watching? The people following you need no account and no app. They open a link and see every participant on the course, how far each has come, and roughly when to expect them at the finish. WHAT IT DOES - Live positions on the event's own course, not a dot in a field beside the road - Distance covered and distance left, because every position is matched to the route - Finish estimates that account for the climbs ahead rather than an average pace - A Live Activity on your lock screen and in the Dynamic Island while you ride - Battery settings from most accurate to most economical, so a long day still ends with a phone that works FOR ORGANISERS Create an event at workotrack.com, upload the course as a GPX or TCX file, and share the join code. Spectators get one link that works for everyone. PRIVACY Sharing is per event and per participant. Location is recorded only while you have sharing turned on, only inside the window the organiser set, and it stops by itself when that window closes. You can turn it off at any time, and deleting your account removes your position history with it. Workotrack is not official timing, and it is not safety equipment. Positions come from consumer phone GPS and mobile coverage, both of which have gaps.
