When sharing event details, it’s helpful to emphasize that no app is needed for live tracking. Spectators can track participants directly at track.brooksee.com (each event has its own direct link). Participants do not need to carry a phone or watch for live tracking to function.
Promoting Live Tracking Without an App
Through the Laurel system, Brooksee places timing readers along the course, with at least one reader every mile. On average, participants can expect checkpoints to update live tracking every 8 to 10 minutes, often more frequently. Between these checkpoints, Brooksee uses participants’ pacing data to estimate their location and predict finish times, enhancing tracking accuracy with each additional checkpoint.
Here is a blurb you can post on your website:

They can also opt-in for free text updates as you reach key points along the course. No phone or watch required—just the timing tag on your bib!
Invite your supporters to share in the excitement and follow your every move at track.brooksee.com.
Promoting Live Tracking with an App
While some participants prefer not to use an app, Brooksee’s white-labeled event apps provide an optional, enhanced experience. Supporters can still track live progress through the web platform even if the app is not used, ensuring access to tracking regardless of preference.
The app offers additional features for participants, including:
- Shout-Outs: Spectators using either the app or the website can send a shout-out to a participant who is using the app that will be read out loud in their earbuds (shout-outs are public and anyone else tracking that participant will be able to read the shout-out)
- Course Directions: Race directors can work with Brooksee to put route directions in the app that will be read out loud to the participant in their earbuds
- Course Motivation and Course Tour: Race directors can put motivating phrases or sponsor mentions at specific points along the course, read to participants in the app
- Progress Updates: Participants can receive progress updates about their current pace, expected finish time, etc.
Here is a blurb you can post on your website if your event has a white-labeled Brooksee app:
