Live race spectating

Catch them right at the curb.

CurbCrew tracks a runner along the course in real time. Pick a spot, watch them approach on the map, and be ready the moment they reach you.

How it works

From registration to the curb in four steps.

We don't make running apps for runners. We make spectating apps for the friends, partners and parents standing on the curb.

  1. 1

    Sign up for a race

    Pick your race. CurbCrew adds the official route automatically as it becomes available.

  2. 2

    Invite your crew

    Send one link. Your crew opens it in any browser.

  3. 3

    Everyone picks a spot

    Each crew member drops a marker where they'll watch from. The whole crew shows up on one map.

  4. 4

    Catch them at the curb

    Runners can hear when they approach the crew. Crew members see the live ping of the runner approach on the map and get an ETA of when the runner will pass them. No more missed meet-ups.

What you gain

Everything your crew has always been missing.

Race day is chaos for the people watching. CurbCrew turns guesswork on the curb into a calm, live picture.

Live GPS on the route

Positions stream from the runner's phone, snapped to the official course, every minute.

ETAs that actually tick

Projected arrival to each spot, counting down in real time as your runner moves.

The whole crew, one map

See everyone on the curb at a glance and coordinate where to head next.

Cheers in their ear

Send a message mid-race that's read aloud to your runner. So you can support from further away.

Only an app for the runner

Works in any browser, on any phone, for everyone you invite. Nothing to install for the crew. The runner installs our app to share their location.

Plan how to get there

Export your planned spots to Google Maps or GPX and sort out how to get to navigate between your spots before or walk to your next spot on the day itself.

I set it up the night before and sent the link to my parents. They caught me at eleven different spots, and I heard them cheer every time.

Questions

Good to know before race day.

No. You send one link and it opens in any phone browser. Only you, the runner, set the race up — everyone else just watches.

Positions come from the runner's phone GPS, snapped to the official route, and the position is updated every minute so the position is always current.

Yes. They can send short messages mid-race that are read aloud in your earbuds, so you hear them even when you can't see them.

Any race with a known route — we map it from the official GPX. Don't see yours? Send it to support@curbcrew.cc and we'll add it.

Your runner is out there.
Be ready when they pass.
