I assume just muting your 'phone is an option. I don't want a soundtrack, especially a random s'lebs soundtrack.

Does it require mobile data signal when in use or is just having the GPS on the phone enough? I have plenty of data allowance but others may not, plus the signal can sometimes be patchy...

It does claim to need a data connection as well as clear view of the sky for GPS. Not sure why it needs data connection, unless just so they can show a bunch of dots virtually running around London on the BBC coverage.

Installed, good job! Daylight savings must kick in this weekend as it says event starts at 10am (we're currently 9 hours ahead). Wouldn't have been fun starting at 9am to find out it doesn't count. I'm surprised people haven't started talking about the weather forecast for the day, that's normally the topic in the lead up, too hot/wet/cold/windy 😂

Perfect! I’m not messing with a half arsed app that will also sell data. We give enough away already.

Chrismean - I've emailed for the fourth time explaining that I don't own a smartphone and asking if I can still participate but awaiting a response. Did they explain what you need to do if running without a phone?

LMH - I’ve been reading the comments on VLM’s FB post and you definitely don’t need to run with a phone, but they say the upload of proof from your watch needs to be done via the app. So far I haven’t seen a response to anyone who has commented saying they don’t have a smartphone. I hope you get a response from them.
