Marine Corps Marathon Leads the Running Industry with New Individualized Finisher Web Pages
By Beth Cline Johnson October 17, 2007 Washington, DC For the Washington Running Report
New web site replaces the MCM Results CD
The MCM is leading the industry with a new service for runners
to view their post race results. Replacing the Post Race
Results CD will be individualized, customized finisher web
sites for each of the more than 21,000 anticipated finishers.
Designed and hosted by MarathonFoto, the site will offer
runners access to their split times, finish results and photos,
plus interactive features like RunPix, Map Track, Finisher
Certificates, eGreetings and more, scrap booked together in one
easy-to-use location. "The MCM has always been on the cutting edge of race technology
from being among the first races to use timing chips to
utilizing a wireless network," said Rick Nealis, Marine Corps
Marathon Race Director. "I am proud to offer this new
innovation to our finishers that will make viewing and sharing
race results and information more dynamic than ever before." This first-of-its-kind website takes finishers on a journey
through their Marine Corps Marathon adventure, offering all the
great features of the MCM Results CD in an online format.
Finishers will enjoy personalized web pages with their finish
times, photos and other personalized results data to share with
friends and family, simply by sending a link. Runners will be
invited to click through the marathon's history including
previous winners, course records, and celebrity marathoners.
The site will also provide a multimedia showcase of "The
People's Marathon" including a slide show from the Marathon and
Healthy Kids Fun Run, and results database, searchable by first
or last name or bib number. The interactive results web site, including the downloadable
finisher certificate, will begin to unfold on marathon day.
