Tracking Your Activity
All you need to know about tracking friends and family members running in an AJ Bell Great Run Series event, and tracking activity as evidence for your Great Run Solo Challenge.
AJ Bell Great Run Series Event Tracking
If you’re doing an AJ Bell Great Run – or you know someone who is – our Great Run: Running Events event day app is a must-have. It allows you to search for and track runners, view your results instantly, access your split times, see event photos and donate to a worthy cause via an Enthuse charity page.
Whether you’re a spectator or on the start line, the Great Run app is easy-to-use, free of charge and helps you access the data you need to smash your next challenge. Bragging rights coming your way…
Tracking runs for Great Run Solo Challenges
Set a goal, see what you can achieve and celebrate your success with a Great Run Solo challenge.
You don’t *need* to provide us with detailed evidence of every run you’ve completed – your word is good enough. But if you like to keep an eye on your performance, you can use our online run tracker – or another tracking app of your choice – and share your achievements with the Great Run team. We’d love to see how you’ve got on.
To use the Great Run online run tracker, you’ll need to visit the challenge page and log into the Your Results section using your Great Run ID (find it on your Great Run Solo confirmation email) while your Great Run Solo period is ‘live’. Here, if you want to, you can upload evidence of your runs – whether that’s a photo of a paper running diary, app screenshots or a photo of your watch.
Tracking apps
Some of the tracking apps you can use to log your runs are below with instructions on how to capture your total distance.
