How does Live Race Alerts on Facebook work?
Live Race Alerts on Facebook is intended to be used by the participant and not friends, family or other spectators. The participant will sign up for Live Race Alerts on Facebook to have their race progress and finish time available to all their Facebook friends. NOTE: You can only sign-up to receive alerts for one participant!

You sign up to have your race progress posted to your Facebook wall. When you cross a timing location along the race course a status update will be posted to your Facebook wall so all your Facebook friends can monitor your race progress.
