How it works

Four steps. Real connections.

Create your profile, find your people, connect when they accept and meet during race weekend. Simple.

The window

It only exists
during the race.

A Zone opens at 00:01 on the first race day and closes at midnight, when the last one ends. Everything on this page happens inside that window, and nowhere else.

  1. 29 Oct · 00:01

    The Zone opens. You publish your profile and start seeing who is worth reaching out to.

  2. 29 Oct – 1 Nov

    Race weekend. No daily CONNECT limit — just a 5-pending cap so requests never pile up unanswered. Plus the race context each person chooses to publish.

  3. 2 Nov · 00:00

    The Zone closes. And its data closes with it.

On 2 November your Zone profile, what you declared and any request nobody accepted no longer exist. Your account and the connections you accepted survive. Nothing else does, and that is the point: this is not one more place to keep a profile.

N9Z athletes only. Their race, not their location.
