On a misty race morning LiveInfo by LiveTrail from LiveTrail SARL centres race-day attention for supporters and athletes. The app provides real-time participant tracking, checkpoint passage times, and live video feeds to follow runners through long courses. It also offers GPS beaconing, SOS alerts, and pacing tools that adjust predictions during a race. Designed for trail runners, their families, and race teams, it aims to bring race visibility and safety into a single iPhone experience.

How does the app show who’s where during a race?

The app identifies participants by name or bib number and displays live passage times and rankings at each checkpoint, making following a runner straightforward. Supporters can add favourites for quicker access, and LiveCam checkpoint video feeds let viewers watch recorded crossings. This combination makes it practical for someone tracking multiple runners at once or confirming live time splits during an event.

What event connections and device requirements matter?

LiveTrail acts as an official tracking partner for major trail events, including the UTMB World Series, which explains why some live feeds and checkpoint data are available only during partnered races. The app runs on iPhone and iPad and requires iOS 15.0 or later. Organizers supply the timing data and LiveCam streams that populate the app during those events.

Is the app useful for both racers and their supporters on race day?

Runners can enable a GPS beacon for location sharing, use SOS reporting for safety, and set pacing targets with the Ghost Table feature. Supporters gain continuous visibility through tracking and video. Users have noted useful pacing guidance, but battery consumption during long races has been reported, so sustained GPS use can affect a device over multi-hour events.

How reliable are predictions, maps, and privacy controls?

Arrival-time estimates use AI-driven adjustments that update with real-time timing data, which helps predict checkpoint arrivals under changing race conditions. Course maps work offline after download, yet some users report occasional map synchronization delays. The app requests location access to enable GPS beaconing and tracking, and safety alerts tie directly to that shared location data.

To sum up, a practical race-day companion with a clear caveat

To sum up, the app is a practical choice for supporters, race crews, and trail athletes who need live visibility and event-aware safety tools. Expect heavier device battery use during extended efforts, so plan charging strategies and pre-download course maps where possible. With that preparation, the app integrates into race routines and helps keep attention focused on timing and safety rather than logistics.
