Runner tracking. (Read 301 times)

    In-race runner tracking for the Chicago Marathon. Could be cool for family and friends to "witness" your progress on the course. I hope more marathons adopt this technology -- I like the idea.

      Last year, the Chicago Marathon server collapsed during the race under user demand because of this feature. Hopefully, they've addressed it. I was trying to track a buddy that was looking to qualify for the Olympic Trials. Very frustrating at the time, but there was also a live webcast of the race (not sure where it was hosted). My buddy actually finished just ahead of the top women, and as they were covering the womens' finish, I got to see him turn onto the homestretch with plenty of time to spare. Coolness.
