I know that is what they were intending for us all to wear if they could have figured out how to make the actual real event go ahead. Have seen some still photos of the athletes wearing them around the hotel, but not sure if they will be using them in the event itself. Doubt they are going to be wearing them around their necks anyway so must be fixed on the number somehow.
Will strapping one of these to our arms at the marathon expos from next year be how things are done in the future?

I can't see any VLM apps in the Google Play Store? Not that I need one, but I am curious!

It's called London Marathon 2020 but the previous runner tracking app I had installed just updated itself.
Can't test it yet as we need a registration code they have yet to provide though.

From recent experience, the release programme from Google Play Store to my phone can be ponderous - it wouldn't surprise me at all if some phones don't get the app authorised for their particular flavour of Android before the weekend if it's only rolling out now. Not entirely in VLM's hands, but something that could have been predicted. Perhaps I'll be wrong and it'll just be a few hours of delay, but I've waited 2 weeks in the past for similar things.

The thing that is crap with phone based tracking devices. 1. they chew battery. Even Garmin live track doesn't chew battery because GPS is from watch so it is just uploading data. 2. GPS on phones in tests tend to perform poorly. 3. How do you carry it?
I'll be using the secondary method.
