Marathon Runner Tracking System

Cool idea! The Chevron Houston Marathon and Aramco Half Marathon has setup a way to track runners, so that you can keep up with their progress. If you know someone running either race, you can find out where they will be to cheer them on. You can register to receive updates via email or text message here and here for each race, respectively.

Apparently, they will also be taking video footage of the runners as they cross the finish line.
