Find, join and track in events direct from within OutFront for Android

Return to latest news
If you’re participating in an event that’s using Map My Tracks it’s now possible to get all the event and route details direct to your phone. This update makes it super simple to download and follow routes from within the app. It makes tracking live in an event even easier.

The new events section of the app features current, upcoming, past and nearby events.

Each event has it’s own profile featuring the different routes available and options to join the event and activate live tracking when the event takes place.

All the individual race details including distance, maximum gradient and elevation as well as the total ascent for the route.

Having joined an event it’s possible to then follow the route from within the tracking section of OutFront. There’s now no excuse to get lost out on route.

We’re thrilled to have this update available for a number of upcoming events hosted by Action Challenge, Action Medical Research and Threshold Sports. All are using Map My Tracks to present their event routes and provide tracking for their participants. 

At present, these features are only available in OutFront for Android but the iPhone app will be getting these soon.

OutFront for Android can be downloaded from Google Play.
