 This year, friends and family will be able to track marathon, half-marathon and 5K runners as well as relay teams out on the course. This is a FREE service, courtesy of T-Mobile, the official wireless provider of Corrigan Sports and the Baltimore Running Festival.
Register online for the FREE Baltimore Running Festival runner tracking services powered by T-Mobile, beginning Tuesday, Oct. 9 at 9 am through Saturday, Oct. 13 at 7 am (EDT). Use this helpful information to track your favorite runners, and to reunite with loved ones at the T-Mobile Reunion Zone. The message will provide the runner’s time, pace and expected finish time.
You will be able to receive tracking messages on your mobile phone via text messaging, have an email sent to your inbox, or have posts placed on your facebook or twitter accounts.
Alerts are triggered when each runner’s individual timing chip crosses a timing mat that is part of the runner tracking system. By tracking a runner, you will receive the following messages:
- Full Marathon: 13.1, 18.9 mi, Finish
- Half-Marathon: 5.8, Finish
- Relay: Leg 1, Leg 2, Leg 3, Finish
- 5K: Finish

You will be asked to create a messaging account which will grant the system permission to send messages to your selected personal and/or social media accounts.
For each athlete you want to track, enter their name, (note: for relay teams, enter the team name in the last name field.) then click on the tracking options you wish to use via the symbol menu to the left of their name (the symbols represent phone text message, email, facebook and twitter.)
