For long events where participants are spread out over many hours, race directors need more robust, tech-forward tools to improve timing accuracy, safety, and live tracking.
Feature Requests:
Allow multiple devices to record results at the same checkpoint/location, enabling teams to manage extended check-in windows without conflicts
Display public-facing predicted arrival times for each checkpoint using historical data and live progress to help crews and spectators plan
Link checkpoint locations to mapping platforms (e.g., Google Maps) for easier crew navigation
Introduce a built-in, integrated safety tracking system to monitor participant locations in real-time
Impact:
Helps race directors manage remote and complex courses
Assists crews with better planning and real-time updates
Enhances the spectator experience for remote friends and family
Adds a layer of participant safety through location-based monitoring
This would be a transformative upgrade, especially for endurance and backcountry events, positioning UltraSignup as a leader in race-day tech and safety.
