Get the app
The TCS New York City Marathon App is a cornerstone of the marathon weekend.
It elevates the entire marathon experience for runners, fans, and spectators. From tracking runners to watching the pro race to collecting a bib at the expo, the TCS New York City Marathon app is a one-stop-shop for anyone participating in or following the world’s largest marathon.
On the first weekend of November every year, the TCS New York City Marathon app is the #1 most-downloaded sports app worldwide. The mobile app’s cloud-based, scalable, and secure infrastructure facilitates complex features for approximately half a million users. This reliability is key to all TCS apps. We provide peace of mind for the New York Road Runners and other partners by working successfully with a variety of technology ecosystems, including the major players TCS Enterprise, AWS, Google, and Microsoft Azure clouds.
Scalability and security are only two of the many core features of the high-performing apps. Keep reading below to preview other key features in the 2023 TCS New York City Marathon App. Download and explore today from the Apple and Google Play stores.
Watch and track your runner
Spectators can tune in live to cheer for friends and family thanks to the advanced bib tracking technology and the five live-streaming cameras at strategic locations along the marathon route.
From a technology perspective, these top features are a coordinated effort between hardware, third-party communication services, and the sports app’s core code and content management system.
Comparable workflows can be implemented for various logistics scenarios, such as inventory management and loss prevention. We know tracking an important delivery in real-time is just as important as tracking your favorite runner on 26.2 miles of New York City streets.
Spectator guide
The “Spectator Guide” was created because getting around New York City can be tricky, especially on race day.
Spectators can use this feature to track their favorite runners, identify places to see athletes in person, and create itineraries with clear directions for public transit. The guide can be accessed after a runner has been tracked. Spectators then receive notifications as runners cross key milestones such as the half-way point. The technology needed for this orchestration involves a synergy between geographic mapping and personalized algorithms.
This use case is evident in retail sector as more and more shoppers search for information online and confirm purchases in store. Well-designed app features can help users create digital shopping carts, including special offers, and identify exactly where to find products on shelves using turn-by-turn directions. This helps save time for everyone.
Sustainability calculator
Large events have a big footprint. The app’s “Sustainability Calculator” helps users estimate individual environmental impacts to make greener choices over race weekend.
To deliver this feature, the app fuses a comprehensive database of event operations with a one-to-one, sustainability-focused recommendation engine.
It applies to any business with a large operational footprint. For example, similar dashboards can be created for manufacturers with a multitude of facilities. Sustainability apps can leverage inputs from monitors and sensors to make recommendations on everything from lighting to HVAC usage. We know that the decisions we make today will impact future generations.
