Tutorial
After receiving the SMS invite, get the Flats or Spikes app, sign in with the mobile number you registered with, and accept the invite in the app.
On Saturday November 6th, just before 10 AM (Central), go to the Data tab, tap Capture Your Time, and wait for the countdown to hit zero.
Start running when the app flashes Go!
Run your course using Google Maps, MapMyRun, Garmin Connect, Strava Route Builder, to find and map running routes near you. You can also set your fitness tracker (Apple Watch, Garmin, FitBit) to a 5.00 km or 3.11 mi run.
When you’re done, return to the Flats or Spikes app and tap Capture Finish Time.
Explore the leaderboard by tapping back, View Results, then 5K. See how your time compares to others in the race and over 1300 historic 5Ks.
