So, how does RaceJoy work?

RaceJoy offers a mobile race experience for virtual events that incorporates many of the unique interactive aspects that embody a traditional race experience.

The participant needs to click the Start My Race button as they cross the start line, and this begins their clock. RaceJoy auto-detects when they reach the finish line. RaceJoy also issues Off Course alerts if the participant goes off course, and participants can access an interactive course map to get their bearings.

Participants using RaceJoy will have their GPS-based results automatically submitted to the race as they cross the finish line. This data will then be scored, and comparative results will be displayed in the app and the race’s website. This is for fun, and no awards will be given out.

Friends and family can track participants’ locations and send them cheers, and the participants receive audio progress alerts at every mile. 

The Francis McGarry Remembrance Run does not utilize traditional timing equipment, and participants must utilize the RaceJoy app in order for their times to be recorded.
