Live, our custom application for live race tracking, has been one of our new releases for 2018.
Last February it passed the acid test of being the official application of the Zurich 2018 Seville Marathon. Since then more than 90 races have been followed live through the different applications that have been created with Live technology. These have added up to about 100 000 users in total.
We like to surprise you every year with new products but, above all, we love that these new products are so well received.

Why does Live persuade organizers and timers?
Sport event organizers are looking for new ways to engage runners and attract sponsors, while timers want to differentiate themselves and be able to offer new services that allow them to time more and better races.
The Live app has gone into both their pockets. Races such as the aforementioned Zurich Marathon of Seville (Spain), the Ruta de las Iglesias (Ecuador), the 10K Valencia Ibercaja (Spain), the Powerade Monterrey Marathon (Mexico) or the Gran Fondo Quebrantahuesos (Spain) have had their own official personalized app this year.
In addition to being able to offer this app to their races, some timers have also opted to create a multi-race Live application in which they include the different races that time. Examples are the official applications of Tiempos y Resultados (Mexico), Yomury (Spain), Sports Timing (Ireland) or TimePulse (France).
