Project overview
How the product was structured
The overview is split into context, platform, architecture, and stack so the delivery shape is easier to scan.
iOS & Android Mobile Application
The cross-platform mobile apps communicate with a GraphQL API backend hosted on Firebase infrastructure. Map APIs provide route visualization and real-time runner tracking during events. Payment gateway integrations handle race registration fees with secure transaction processing. Firebase Cloud Messaging delivers push notifications for event updates, registration confirmations, and live race alerts.

Key features
Capabilities delivered in the product
The case studies vary, so the feature section uses one lead capability plus a compact supporting grid instead of repeating the same card pattern.
GPS Run Tracking
Real-time distance, pace, elevation, and heart rate monitoring with accurate GPS-based tracking.
Event Discovery
Browse and discover running events, marathons, and fun runs happening in your area.
Race Registration & Payment
Register for events and process payments securely through integrated payment gateways.
Route Visualization
Map API integration for route visualization, live tracking, and course previews.
Cross-Platform Experience
Native iOS and Android apps built on a shared backend architecture for consistent UX.
Community & Social
