Running is a popular and timeless activity, requiring no more equipment than a pair of shoes. (And, in recent running trends, many are even going barefoot!)
An estimated 2 percent of Americans will run a full marathon in their lifetimes; hundreds of thousands more participate in half-marathons, 10K and 5K races annually. If you’ve ever been a part of one of these events, you know that half the fun comes from going after a race time and the satisfaction of knowing you reached your goal. ASU students are creating a better system to ensure the accuracy of race timing--one that helps our communities, too.
