LMH - do you have a tablet? I’ve seen on Twitter you can upload via the app on a tablet.

Thanks Frag - as a non FB person I probably miss a lot - or save myself time and angst LOL. I can download the app to upload my Garmin but obviously I'm not going to run around with an iPad  It would be nice if VLM would actually communicate these options.

It’s ok LMH, you don’t need to run with the iPad.
Proof, in case it’s needed later.

Is there any guidance on distance. Ie as long as your watch and/or the app show 26.2 miles is that enough. Do we need to run until both show 26.2. Do we need to add on a bit to cover gps inaccuracy

I'm running with Garmin (app on phone but won't be used) and 26.3 max!

I read somewhere in one of the emails that the app stops running as soon as 26.2 is achieved. I'll make sure my watch shows at least that too though.

Yeah that’s going to get tricky if the phone is in the pouch of my gel belt. It will be fiddly to check both and actually may need a trial run beforehand.
Also worried about the rain and breaking the phone.

Just thought I'd mention, since "26.2" is being mentioned a lot, that the full marathon distance is actually a tiny bit longer:
26.22 miles (26.219 miles to be more precise, or 42.195 km to be exact)
Don't miss out by being just 31m short!

I think I read somewhere they will take other race results as proof. It will be interesting if my GPS for my race measures less than 26.2 miles (as it's a looped course and loops sometimes cause GPS issues). I guess I could pause over the line and then do a bit more before I save. I'm not going for GFA so it's just for the medal.
