Track a runner live, wherever they are running
With CheerMyRun, the runner’s own phone is the tracker. They start their run and share an invitation; you open it and see where they are on a live map, how far they have gone and how fast they are moving.
How live tracking works
- The runner installs CheerMyRun on iPhone or Android and sets up their run or race.
- They share their run invitation with you.
- You follow their position on a live map, with distance and pace.
- You record short voice cheers, and they play in the runner’s headphones.
What you can see
- Live position
- A dot on the map that moves with the runner, from their phone’s GPS.
- Distance and pace
- How far they have gone and how fast they are running right now.
- Voice cheers
- Send a short voice message and it plays in their headphones mid-run.
Between the timing mats
At big races, the official tracker updates when runners cross timing mats, which are usually kilometres apart. CheerMyRun shows where your runner is in between, because the position comes from their phone. Use the official app for chip times and CheerMyRun for where they are right now.
