Twitter and Facebook are all the rage these days, and your experience in the CareFirst Frederick Running Festival posted right to your personal page on these sites.
Marathon, Half Marathon & 5K participants in this year’s race can have reports of their progress automatically “tweeted” at each checkpoint along the course! These updates will include the athlete’s progress and estimated finish time, and can be posted to your Twitter or Facebook status (or both)! Also, text messaging updates are available through Twitter and Facebook.
TweetMyTime is a FREE coutesy of Corrigan Sports and works with the runner’s D-Tag timing device worn on race day by each registered participant to record his or her time. No other equipment is needed.
Once registration forTweetMyTime is confirmed, the program will kick in as soon as the start line is crossed on race day!
