SUBMITTING RESULTS
To receive and official time that will count towards awards you must use the RaceJoy app.
If you are not using the RaceJoy App you may still submit your finish time. Just click on the Results Tab in the side bar and then click submit Virtual Results. Results submitted manually are not eligible for awards since they can not be verified.
The exception! RaceJoy uses GPS tracking so it can only track the person carrying the phone. So...if you and your child are running together with only one phone and you have enabled RaceJoy to track your bib number. Your finish time will be verified and automatically submitted. You will need to manually submit the time for your child by clicking on the Results Tab in the left sidebar menu. When you enter the time for your child please make sure it matches your RaceJoy time exactly and send an email to renee.griffin@setupevents.com and let me know that your child ran with you. This will allow us to verify your child's time.
