AlsterRunning: Record Hamburg’s most famous running track with a chip

And this is how the system works: Each registered runner gets a chip that is attached to the shoe, under or between the laces. When passing the measurement station, the chip uses RFID technology to communicate with inductive loops in the ground. The station receives a chip number, which can be uniquely assigned to the runner. The exact time to pass is recorded and saved. The time distance is calculated from this.
Exact data when operating in the online account
AlsterRunning is free to use, only the chip costs about 20 euros once. A second bracket is available for €10 if multiple running shoes are used. You can access and share data stored in the portal with others. The site also has a leaderboard showing the fastest times of the day and the best new personals shows.
Useful: According to the website, the chip can only be used on an Alster exterior. The program recognizes if you have also walked around the Binnenalster and also adds the distance. The slide can also be used at many Hamburg running events. This includes the Hella Hamburg Half Marathon, Barmer Alsterlaf Hamburg and many more.
