- The page describes both distance races and timed efforts, and says Strava syncing can add completed races to a runner’s history.
Field notes
The described setup uses an invite link or race code, with the host choosing a distance or timed effort and selecting how the start is triggered. The page also says runners can use Apple Watch or a Bluetooth strap for heart rate, cadence, and splits, and describes optional Strava syncing. These are presented as product capabilities; the displayed race itself is labeled simulated rather than recorded.
