Real-Time Remote Racing™

 

Our past participants will remember the RTRT.me runner tracking app from previous races. This year, it's getting a pandemic-proof upgrade, allowing us to run together on race day, Sat., Dec. 5 at 7 a.m. CST, from wherever you happen to be! It's not just a virtual run, it's a remote race.

 
 

Participant instructions

 

  1. Connect and claim your profile. Emails with instructions will be sent out weekly for new registrants, or download the app now.
  2. Update your profile by adding a photo, reviewing location settings and more. In your profile, you can also choose to link your Strava account, if you have one, to RTRT. While not required this will allow you to use a Strava-connected device with RTRT if you desire.
  3. Run your race and track your finish time. On race day, Sat., Dec. 5, you'll see a countdown in the app. The race will start promptly at 7 a.m. CST. While your race can be completed anytime between Sept. 21 - Dec. 5, we encourage all participants to join us on race day. 

Please note:

  • The RTRT.me app is the only option to submit your race time.
  • Race time submission is not required and will not be verified.
