GEO TRACKER

2024 bookings now open

BOOK A GPS STYLE GEO TRACKER

Family & friends can follow every step of your Ultra Challenge!

If you'd like your family & friends to track your progress in real time as you take on your Ultra Challenge - then why not book one of our new Geo Trackers to pick up at the start of the event! We'll supply you with a URL link to share with them - and then they'll be able to see exactly where you are!

GEO TRACKER

Whilst our main event timing system tracks you through the rest stops along the route (as you get scanned in) it does not know where you are the rest of the time. This is where the ‘Geo Tracker’ steps in! It’s a small device with a long battery life (unlike a mobile phone with a ‘location’ App) which you carry in your day bag or pocket, and is updated a few times a minute with your location. You can therefore give family & friends ongoing ‘peace of mind’ that all is well, and that you are on track, or for them to plan their travel timings if they’re scheduled to meet you at any major rest stops – or for that finish line celebration & photo!

GEO TRACKER HIRE COST = £25

Book ONLINE

We have limited stocks of the Geo Trackers – so if you’re interested, it’s best to book early to avoid disappointment. To book your Geo Tracker – there’s a very short online form to fill in – and then pay the £25 hire cost by card.

Collect at the start

Once booked – you’ll get a confirmation e mail, which you should bring to the Information Point at the start – and you’ll be handed your personal Geo Tracker that will have been coded up to match your bib number. The tracker will already be turned on – our staff will give it a final check – and then there’s no need for you to do anything else. It simply tracks you as you go!

SHARE WITH FAMILY & FRIENDS

Early in the week of the event – we’ll send you an e mail with the ‘tracker map’ URL to share with family & friends. All they need to do is to is to type your name into the map screen (or your bib number) – and then they can see where you are at all times – day & night!

HAND IN AT THE FINISH

Once you cross your finish line – please hand the tracker to our staff in the finish pen (we will need to re-code them all up for the next event – so this is important!). If you have to retire from the challenge for some reason – do your best to hand it to a member of staff, or there will be an address to mail it to within 36 hours. ‘Lost’ Geo Trackers will be charged for.
