I’m excited to let you know that we now have an official app for your event information and live tracking! We have three levels of participation for you to choose from.
You can find the details of the three options here: https://competitivetiming.com/competitive-timing-app/
Every event that we time will be listed in our app and include basic information like a link to register and a link for viewing results. For a basic event listing, there is no charge to you. We want this app to be useful to everyone in our region by making every single event we time available.
For $200 a year (tailored event) you can have direct access to manage your event within the app. You’ll be able to add your race logo, event images, course maps, and any other race Information you’d like to be available for your participants. You can upload selfie backgrounds, and have access to all user selfies for your own marketing material, and even send push notifications to users of the app that are interested in your event.
You can create different app experiences and have users choose whether they are a participant, spectator, or volunteer. This can be really useful for sending push notifications to a particular type of user, and be helpful for creating a more tailored experience.
For $1000 a year (premium event) you can have all of the above (see link above for more details), and live tracking, live ranking, leaderboards, geofences, progress notifications, and allow likes and comments on participant profiles.
For both tailored and premium events, we can help to make sure that your app layout is perfect for your participants, spectators, and volunteers.
This is also a great opportunity for your sponsors as you can create special tiles, promotions, and links for them. Geofencing allows messages to automatically display on a users phone when it comes within a predetermined range of your sponsors location.
Once you’re in the app, you can check out the three different types of events. This Saturday the Run To The Pub will be using live tracking, so find some participants to follow in there and get a feel for how that feature works. Keep in mind that the more splits a course has, the more interactive the feature becomes.
Events with our Competitive Timing logo in the background are using the basic setup, and events with a custom race logo are using the tailored setup or premium setup.
Currently the events we have using Live tracking are:
Run To The Pub
Montana Women’s Run
Butte 100
Bozeman Marathon
Montana Marathon
Use the links below to download the app on your device and check it out. Please reply to this email or give me a call if you have questions about the app or would like to sign up to start tailoring your event. I hope to hear from you soon and I’m super stoked to be able to offer this service!
