What is Live Predictive Tracking?

Predictive tracking that estimates participant location along the course based on split times.

Shows predicted pace, estimated position on course, and projected finish time.

Works in any web browser on desktop, tablet, or phone.

Spectators can follow multiple participants from the “Following” tab

Key Features

Flexible Timing Data
Works with splits, estimated finish time, goal time, or PB data. Supports practically any race format.

Predictive Estimates
Pace, estimated position on course, and projected finish time. Including “Up Next” predictions for when participants might cross the next milestone on their route.

Multi-Participant Tracking
Follow unlimited participants from one “Following” tab.

Interactive Course Map
Visual location tracking with custom map markers.

Custom Map Markers (Unique to LPT):
Spectators can drop a pin anywhere on the course to see predicted pass-by times for their location, perfect for choosing the best cheering spot.


Browser Push Notifications

  • Proactive alerts: Spectators don’t need to constantly refresh the page.
  • Instant browser notifications when followed participants complete their race.
  • Works on desktop (one-click setup) and mobile (via web app).
  • Uses device’s native notification service.

Why it matters for Race Directors: Keeps spectators engaged even when they’re not actively watching the tracker.

Benefits for your event

Engage participants’ loved ones and build community beyond registered runners.

Expand event reach to new audiences (running enthusiasts, curious spectators who may register for future events).

Premium spectator experience that differentiates your event from competitors.

Operational value for timers: Custom markers help with course management (knowing when to close intersections, dismiss marshals).


How it works

1. Timer enables Live Predictive Tracking in Race Roster dashboard.

2. Participants share their personal results link before race day.

3. Spectators click “Follow” and optionally enable notifications.

4. Real-time tracking and push alerts throughout the event.
