Runners can opt to have their
Facebook cover photo updated and can have a gallery from race day posted to their profile after the event, providing a wonderful keepsake from the race.
Runners can also set personalised
Facebook and
Twitter messages to be posted automatically on race day as they cross the official timing mats, which means that friends from around the world can share in their running journey with them.
Supporters can get in on the act as well. By downloading the adidas Running app, they can receive progress updates on friends and family as they pass through checkpoints along the route. They can even elect to follow the progress of the adidas running ambassadors - Derek van Dam, Nigel Pierce, Letshego Moshoeu, Gugu Zulu, Liezel van der Westhuizen, Nicolene Mostert and Janez Vermeiren.
The adidas Running app can be downloaded for free, from the iPhone App Store,
Google Play or the mobi site. For more information on the app click
