Western States is Releasing an App

Via the WSER Facebook page, of all places:

Race day may be 2 months away but we are readying WSER App 2.0 (iPhone) and are looking for some beta testers as we run a few race simulations to look for any issues in advance.

The new app will feature historical data and photos but much more pertinent will have the live broadcast, runner tracking, and notifications. An Android app will be released at a later date.

The tech disruption – or rather enhancement – is coming for our trail scene, I’ve been saying for a while now. It’ll be fascinating to see how this will be adopted, and how all the various feeds will be curated and pulled together in one application.
