January 26, 2023 /Front Royal, Va. /ENDURANCE SPORTWIRE/ – Enabled Tracking will be working closely with Tanawha Adventures to provide live GPS tracking for both the 50 mile and 55 kilometer distances of the Mount Michell Heartbreaker Ultra Run on March 25, 2023.
According to the event site, Mount Mitchell Heartbreaker is a highly scenic tour of “the other Pisgah” in the shadow of Mount Mitchell. The race begins at the base of the mountains in Old Fort, NC at Camp Grier and takes runners up and down some of the most breathtaking, quad-busting, heart-pounding trails in all of western North Carolina, eventually taking on the 50-mile Route over three peaks over 6,000 feet, including Mount Mitchell itself, making it the highest peak 50 miles east of the Mississippi River. Course highlights include Snooks Nose, Green Knob, Black Mountain Crest and Heartbreak Ridge trails.
“Sometimes it’s not possible to track an event as far away as Mount Mitchell Heartbreaker because cellular service is inadequate, and satellite tracking is prohibitively expensive,” said Mark Harris of Enabled Tracking. “As with all of our events that we follow, we check coverage carefully and we are fortunate to have good cell phone coverage most of the way, allowing our inexpensive and reliable GPS trackers to be used for this event .”
Heartbreaker Race Director Brandon Thrower said, “Tanawha Adventures is thrilled to bring live GPS tracking to our backcountry Ultra events this year. The benefits of knowing where everyone is currently on the course not only helps increase the safety of our events, but also provides a great way for families and crews to follow their runner throughout the event!”
