Important Info about Using the MRR app to Run the Virtual Race

The new MRR app will be available beginning November 1.
In the meantime, check out this great intro video.
Once available, the MRR app must be downloaded to your smart phone (available on both iOS and Android).
Upon completion of the Registration process, new participants will be loaded into the app at 9:00pm(EST) on a daily basis (starting on November 1).
After your registration has been loaded to the MRR app, and you have downloaded the app to your smartphone, you will be able to reopen the app and “claim your profile”.
Your email address (and bib number and code that you will receive) uniquely identifies you to the app while you are running. Think of your email address and special code as your timing tag that would normally be attached to your bib.
A smart phone can only track one runner at any given time. If you are a family of runners and don’t own sufficient phones for your entire family, please click here for advice on running the race.
You will be able to complete as many training/test runs as you desire using the app. Spectators can track your training runs. Results are not transmitted to our timer during your test runs.
Within the time frame of the virtual race (November 19–25), you will “activate” the app and run your 4.748 mile race on the course of your choosing.
Please read the “MRR Virtual App Instruction” page for complete details on the use of the app and corresponding links and videos. This web page will be available by November 1.
