SMS Text Messaging Receive event standings, times and estimates on your cell phone or in your email. The service allows athletes to opt in for a minimal fee and provide cell phone numbers for themselves, spectators, friends, family and coaches to receive real time splits and progress summaries throughout the race. Split times will be delivered at several checkpoints on the course including 10K, 20K, 20 mile and a Finish Line message. Spectators and fans will be able to sign up online or at the Expo to receive updates about their friends and family members on the course. It's a much better way to know how to find someone after a race or how to best position yourself on the course as your athlete passes by. | |

As athletes timing chips are read on the course, course times are collected, calculated and delivered to cell carriers that deliver the message to users over the very speedy SMS gateway. On average, messages are delivered within 10-20 seconds of an athlete crossing a timing mat on the race course The charge for this service is $5.00 per email address. Still have questions?
