Introduction
We require runners to carry a Garmin GPS device with them during the race for live runner tracking. If have your own Garmin device, we can add it to our tracking software with your “share string.” Here’s how.
Step One: Visit Garmin’s Explorer Website and login.
If you’ve already activated your Garmin, you should have an account.
Step Two: Go to the ‘Social’ page.
Step Three: Turn ‘MapShare’ to ‘On’
Step Four: Confirm ‘Visibility’ is set to ‘Public’
Step Five: Copy your share string
In the above screenshot, the share string is share.garmin.com/KY76C. Copy and paste this link into our share string website.
Step Six: Turn it on and leave it on!
On race day, be sure your device is functioning — meaning your subscription is active — and fully charged. Keep it on throughout the race and be sure you have enough battery power.
