## Description

**LiveTrail** is a trail running companion for following races in real time. Track runners with checkpoint notifications, live rankings, passage times, course maps, elevation profiles, and LiveCams. View routes in 2D or 3D and follow a runner’s progress throughout the event.

For participants, a bib unlocks a personal race space with GPS beacon tracking, SOS alerts, cut-off information, and a shareable finisher poster. Plan your race checkpoint by checkpoint with the Ghost table, while offline support, dark mode, and kilometer or mile units provide a flexible experience.
