How it works

When you hire us to map and track your event, we will work with you directly to make sure all of your needs are met and your questions are answered.

Before your event

We will create full feature maps tailored to your event. Your maps can be "free" or "fixed" routes and can be configured to display checkpoints, route markers, overnight areas etc. For fiixed routes, all we need is the GPX file. Custom maps are also available. We will send you a unique URL to share with participants, friends, family, and fans!

We will create a custom form to collect your particpants' entry information. Each particpants' information is linked to a Follow My Challenge USA GPS Tracker (or the participant's tracker if they are using their own SPOT or Garmin InReach). Device rental and mapping fees can be paid by you (event promoter) or your paticpants.

You will receive your labelled rental trackers about a week before your event.

During your event

Simply power on the GPS devices about 30 minutes prior to the start of your event. We will ensure each partipant's tracker is seen and each paticpant appears on the map.

As an event organizer, you will be given full control participants. Add/change/modify participant data like name, start number, country or mark a participant as scratched. Monitor every device in real-time. You can even restart a specific tracking device, remotely! It is also possible to receive automated alerts, by e-mail or SMS, when a riders goes 'off-track'.

After your event

Return the GPS Trackers to us (alternatively, your particpants may return them indvidually).
