Connect viRACE with GPS watch / running platform

 

 

For most events run via viRACE, there is the option to submit your time via GPS upload. This is usually done by connecting directly to your Strava, Garmin, Polar Flow, Fitbit, Wahoo or Apple Health account. It is also possible to participate using the viRACE Apple Watch app.

 

Good to know

 

  • The entire file including warm-up and cool-down can be uploaded. The system filters out the fastest section with the given distance/time and uses this as the result.
  • ONLY gpx or fit files can be uploaded.
  • By uploading, times can also be corrected (for example, if an incorrect result was transmitted due to problems with the settings).

Participation via Apple Watch App

 

With this variant of participation, you don’t have to compromise on the experience in terms of race atmosphere and ambiance. The Apple Watch App downloads the event to your watch in advance – including split times and results of the participants who have already started. A connection to the internet during the event is therefore not necessary.

 

ATTENTION: After the run, it may take a few minutes until the run appears in the app.
