Alternate Tracking Options
Garmin
If your runner is wearing a Garmin running watch, and carrying their smartphone, they can turn on LiveTrack via their Garmin Connect app on their phone. This allows runners to share their live location with friends and family via email, Facebook, or Twitter.
Apple iOS 15
If your athlete is running iOS 15 or higher on their iPhone or watchOS 8 or higher on their Apple Watch, they will be able to share their live location with you before setting off. Follow this step-by-step guide to enable live tracking. This will require your runner to carry a smartphone, unless they have an Apple Watch with cellular service.
Strava Beacon
Strava’s Beacon app works with most modern Garmin running watches and Apple Watches newer than the Apple Watch Series 3 and allows runners to send a live tracking link to three different contacts. This will require your runner to carry a smartphone, unless they have cellular service for Apple Watch. Click here to send a Beacon.
