Richmond Sports Backers is an award-winning nonprofit organization that organizes local sporting events for the benefit of the community. To further boost interest in its annual Ukrop's Monument Avenue 10K footrace, the organization wanted to show a map of the course and the progress of lead runners to fans watching the event on television. So, the organization enlisted Microsoft Gold Certified Partner CapTech Ventures to develop a solution using mobile phones and Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to track selected runners on a televised course map.
