Fans of practicing sports in nature can download the mobile application that the City Council has put into operation to promote sports competition in natural circuits of Estepona and that will allow them to compete in races that take place in the natural environment of Estepona. The Deputy Mayor of the Sociocultural area, Begoña Ortiz, has declared that it is a tool that will offer lovers of this type of sports to compete with other athletes in races in a natural environment throughout the year.
As reported by the municipal official, this new APP can be used on the route known as the Los Reales Vertical kilometer, where two devices (start and finish) have been installed, which will emit a bluetooth signal, which will be detected by the participant’s mobile phone at his / her He passed.
In this way, the chrono will start when passing through the starting point and will stop when reaching the finish line. Thus, the devices will be responsible for indicating to the app the point of the route where the participant is. Once the race is finished, and if they have passed through all the checkpoints, the participant will be classified in the race ranking according to their age and gender. Of course, at all times the participants will have to have activated the bluetooht and the GPS location
All this process is carried out through a unique race timing system called OTR Open Trail Races, which generates classifications automatically when passing through the checkpoint, and all this without the need for user interaction.
To learn more about the steps to follow, the classifications, the races, those interested can access the website opentrailraces.com and the app with the same name, as well as the blog kvlosreales.wordpress.com, created specifically for the Estepona test.
