2020 has been a wild year. The Coronavirus pandemic has affected and hurt millions worldwide, and while our team has remained healthy and relatively happy, Trackster as a company has also endured a number of challenges. To celebrate the end of this difficult year we're hosting the first free virtual 5k on the Trackster app, open to anyone, anywhere, and with prizes for the top entries as well as random participants
Spring track meets were cancelled. Summer running programs and camps have been non-existent. NCAA seasons were postponed or canceled. Our platform was built to help make the lives of athletes and coaches easier so they could better engage in all these types of activities. With all of these being cancelled or altered, we've had to reexamine what it is that Trackster as an app has to offer and how we can help the unnerving world during this time.
As a result we've added a virtual racing feature to Trackster in the Meets section that's unlike anything else out there. This feature makes it extremely easy and fun to compete in races from anywhere in the world.
