Is the app paid?
The app itself is free. If an organizer provides tracking — you pay nothing. Individual rental follows the price list (from 20 PLN gross).
Poltrax Tracker
Track yourself live with your own phone
Turn your phone into a GPS tracker at a race. You get a code, install the app, and your family and fans see you on the live coverage map. Free, on iOS and Android.
This page is for participants and individual use.

What it IS and what it is NOT
What it is
- An app that, for the duration of a race, turns your phone into a GPS transmitter — a replacement for a physical tracker.
- It sends your live position to the race coverage — your family and the organizer see you on the map.
- It works in the background (screen off, phone in a pocket) and buffers positions offline when there is no signal.
What it is not
- It is not a training app like Strava or Garmin — it does not record a workout on its own. It works only in connection with races run by Poltrax.
- It is not navigation or a stopwatch — it won’t show a route map or per-kilometre pace. You see the tracking status, an approximate distance and time left until the end of the race.
- It is not for tracking other people or anything outside the race — once the event ends it disconnects on its own.
- It does not require a Poltrax account. But without a code you won’t start — downloading alone is not enough.

Individual rental — track yourself at any race
No tracking option at your organizer? You can rent tracking individually — just as we rent physical trackers. You apply through the form, we prepare your race route in the Poltrax system and send you a code. From there you act like any participant: install the app, enter the code and track yourself live.

Write to us through the form — tell us which race you want to track yourself at.
- 2
We prepare the route in the system and send you a code and all the details (terms as with tracker rental).

You install the app, enter the code and set off.
Condition: the race must be mapped in the Poltrax system — we take care of that.
Price: from 20 PLN gross. Write to us to arrange the details.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I get a code?
From an organizer (SMS, email or QR) or from us.
What about my data?
Tracking works only during the race; after the event the app disconnects. In Settings → “Delete my data” you clear the data from your phone.
