Rock 'n' Roll Running Series

Great app. I was able to feel the excitement of watching my son via assigned icon as he ran the the streets/highways of Savanah to complete his first marathon. The realism was depicted throughout his journey from start to finish as icon clearly showed when he was moving along at a steady pace and slower pace. I felt the tension,anticipation, and excitement as if I were there, especially during the last couple of miles as icon showed him walking at a snails pace, then exerting that last burst of energy to cross the finish line. Thanks for allowing me to see my son participate and finish his first marathon (at 39 years old) from the comfort of my living room.

The tracking mechanism should also show porta potties so that we may convey to family as they run the route and water stations. It would be easier to ensure that they get the proper care for them. Thank you again for the app and overall it helps very much. Oh by the way make sure it’s in real time as I was tracking a family member finished and the tracker still showed her a ways back from the finish line. Thank you.

I like it. Its easy to use and track people. If I remember correctly; you used to have to register the runner your looking cell phone number and you’d receive vague text alerts. This app gives a lot more detailed runner info and you can find whomever just by their name now. I would have given it 5 stars, but the information lags by a few minutes. I know this because I was tracking my own progress through the app and would receive alerts a few minutes later after crossing over a timing pad. It matters because I didn’t realize it at first and was trying to catch someone I was tracking with no luck.

I am one of those tail enders. I power walk it all. In a marathon last June (not a Rock ‘n’ Roll) organizers folded early and left a bunch of us without directions to follow the course. I lost half an hour following detours and asking pedestrians where streets were located. This app would have saved the day. It is also superb for planning and knowing precisely ... well ... where EVERYTHING is and what it’s about. This app is a work of art.

The App has a latency issue that can equal a 1/2 mile delay in data retrieval. Additionally why are we limited to searching only by race vs. the participants name. I should be able to search my last name and see ALL the races I completed; not the most current. Not to mention, I am running the New Orleans RNR and the app doesn’t have the New Orleans race loaded and it is 4 days away; really?!?! Lastly and certainly not least, why aren’t future races available? Washington is 5 weeks away... come on! I spend several thousands of dollars a year running RNR races and this is the product that was tiled out. Not sure who the Research and Development office used to beta test this but focus groups couldn’t have been part of the planning process and the feedback had to be internally biased. Product is Lacking basic features; real time tracking, historical data, future races, complete search capability via repository of stored I formation. I do believe this is my last race. The National Park Series is Much Much better.
