THE SUPERSPORTS LAGUNA PHUKET MARATHON 2021
THE SUPERSPORTS LAGUNA PHUKET MARATHON 2021
The Supersports Laguna Phuket Marathon launches the first HYBRID RACE for Real-Time Remote Racing in Thailand. This exciting new concept combines a virtual and actual race at the same time using real-time remote racing at the event! Integrating a hybrid race with the actual event allows remote participants (both domestic and international runners) to ‘virtually join’ the actual race on race days from anywhere around the world using the ‘Sportstats Tracker App’. Remote runners will also be ranked in the results with the runners at the actual race.
The hybrid race formats include the 5k and 10.5k on Saturday 11 June scheduled at 5.25pm and 5pm (ICT), and the half and full marathon on Sunday 12 June scheduled at 5.30am and 4.30am (ICT). Depending on where runners are located in the world, time differences may add a very interesting and potentially challenging element for remote participants!
The highlight of joining our hybrid race is the “interactive dual map tracking” on the app. One map is the “event map” (the fixed course map of the event), and the other one is the “runners map” (the GPS-tracked course map of a remote runner). While a remote runner is running, both maps will display the runner’s live progress in the actual race (by simply switching between 2 buttons). Athletes and spectators see the race live on the athlete’s actual course and virtually on the event course at the same time. The “runners map” can be replayed and shared!
