Create an event
Hosting a tracked event is $299 — one flat fee per event. Spectators always watch for free.
🗺️ Every event includes OnTheRoute — a free offline map for your riders
Your whole course and every resupply, in their pocket, with no signal needed. Auto-built from the route you upload — nothing extra to set up, free for every rider.
- Fully offline — route + map tiles download to each phone. Remote gravel or an ultra with no cell service? They still have the map.
- Resupply, mapped — fuel, water, food, lodging, bike shops & pharmacies along the route (from OpenStreetMap), tappable for phone & hours where known.
- Your time stations & control points — marked straight from your route file as on-course references.
- “What’s ahead” — riders see the next fuel, water or aid by distance up-course, with no data connection and no guessing.
Riders stay self-supported and confident even off the grid — and your event looks like the pros run it.

What kind of event?
A quick tour of your options — you'll choose these on the next screen (and can change them later in Manage). This is just so the choices make sense.
1 · What spectators see
Moving dots, no names. A rider in distress is named to event staff only — the public sees a red dot. No roster, no standings; riders just join with the code.
Best for: casual group rides, big open rides, privacy-sensitive events.
Dots show rider names publicly. See who's where — no formal ranking.
Best for: club rides, supported tours, anywhere the group wants to spot each other.
Names + ranked standings per category. Import your roster (BikeReg), riders claim their entry; live placings, finish cutoffs, DNS/DNF/FIN.
Best for: actual races. Needs a little more setup (roster + categories) in Manage after creating.
2 · How riders are tracked
- Phones — riders run the CycLocator app; claiming an entry makes their phone the tracker and saves the race to their history. (default)
- Satellite trackers — you hand out SPOT/Garmin units bound to entries; they report even off the grid, so riders needn't run the app live.
- Mixed — some of each (remote ultras: rentals + riders' own phones).
3 · How the field starts (races)
- Mass start — everyone starts together; ranked by distance along the route.
- Time-trial / interval — staggered starts, ranked by elapsed time (virtual finish). Unlocks per-rider start times and rolling finish cutoffs (e.g. a 48-hour limit).
