Do athletes need any special hardware?

No. Runners track themselves using the RunnerBeam app on their phone, so there's no extra hardware to buy, hand out or collect on race day.

That keeps set-up simple for organisers and removes the cost and logistics of dedicated tracking devices.

For formats where phones aren't practical - relays, bike and vehicle support, or races where athletes don't carry phones - we also offer custom physical tracker fleets that organisers own outright, tracked on the same platform.
