Problem
Organizers of endurance events often face complex logistics and high costs associated with chip-based timing systems, while participants lack a simple way to join and track unofficial or underground races.

Participants can join races directly from their smartphones, receive real‑time location updates, and see instant results after crossing checkpoints. The system streamlines race creation and management through an intuitive portal, while the mobile app handles participant tracking and result calculation, eliminating the need for expensive chip infrastructure.
Target Audience
Runnon is aimed at independent race organizers, running clubs, and participants of unsanctioned or underground endurance events who need a low‑cost, easy‑to‑use solution for race management and timing.
