Track a runner at a marathon or race

Official race apps update when runners cross timing mats. CheerMyRun adds a live position from the runner’s own phone, between the mats too, plus distance, pace and voice cheers.

How it works on race day

  1. Your runner installs CheerMyRun on iPhone or Android and sets up the race before the start.
  2. They share their run invitation with you and anyone else who wants to follow.
  3. During the race you see their position on a live map, with distance and pace.
  4. You record short voice cheers, and they play in your runner’s headphones.

Use it with the official tracker

Use the official race app for chip times at the timing mats, and CheerMyRun for the live dot and cheers in between. CheerMyRun is an independent app and is not affiliated with any race.
