The event is bringing back Runner Tracking to the Baltimore Running Festival! This exciting featurer of the race will allow friends and family who are not running to track their favorite runners out on the course. There are Four components that are part of this program:
1. Text Messaging- You can sign up to receive an email to your computer and/or Blackberry as well as text messages to your phone that will inform you when a runner crosses a timing mat on the course. Mats will be located at Mile 10, Mile 13, Mile 20 and the finish as well as at the relay exchange points (relay runners only.)
REGISTRATION REQUIRED AND WILL BE AVAILABLE BEGINNING OCT 1, 2008.
2. Runner Tracking from Home- If you do not want to receive messages, you can track you runner utilizing the RESULTS page of the website. You can visit the site to see which mats your runner has passed, along with pace, expected finish time.
3. Look-Up Locations- In select spots, we will establish Look-Up Locations where friends and family can utilize the Runner Tracking elements on-site to find their runners. This will be extremely convenient if you are wondering when your runner might cross the finish line. Locations include the VIP Tent and, the Force 3 Results Tent.
4. Race Results Tent- After the race, runners can get a print out of their finishing time at the Results Tent located in the Outback Celebration Village. Just present your bib number and you will have instant copy of your results! (Available for Marathon and Half-Marathon runners only.)
