This is an added value to your race experience NOT a requirement. However we hope that you will participate as it will make it more fun for everyone. You can give the live link to your loved ones and they can follow you on line, we will be displaying the live feed at the finish line so your supporters will know when you are coming in, plus it will help our volunteers be prepared when you come by their stations.
