ACTYVO APP – GUIDE LIVE TRACKING – ENGLISH

This guide/manual explains how the ACTYVO app can be used for live tracking during the race: in this article, we will refer to our event, the Gran Raid of May 17.

Note: normally the ACTYVO Cycling & Challenges app is used for cyclists, so the process is a bit more complicate than usual for runners, we apologize for this.

Live tracking enhances the event and after the run, a replay will be available for each participant. Live tracking can also be helpful for the safety of participants in the event of an incident.

Note: you can also use your ACTYVO account as a cyclist for free. For example, connectors for Garmin or Wahoo devices (bike computers, sports watches) are available. More information via www.actyvo.app (see also the note at the end of the manual).
