If you are participating in a race timed by KronoTiming, KronoTrack lets you share your location in real time with the organizing team and spectators. This makes it possible to continuously display your approximate position and ranking on the KronoLive website. The app also lets you view the GPX track and your current location directly on your phone. If you are a course marshal or sweep runner, the app lets you report runners’ positions as they pass through checkpoints.
