The Vuelta Cerdanya Ultrafons (or VCUF) is an endurance event organized each year by Eduard Jornet, father of the world’s greatest endurance athlete, Kilian Jornet. From the rustic town of Puigcerdá—nestled along the Spain/France border near Andorra—four trail running races take place over the course of a long weekend: a 14km race, a 35km race, an 87km ultra-race and the ultrafons itself, at a mind-boggling 214km!
Our new app Rego has gone viral in Brazil for an “interesting” reason. Here’s the story.

- Expensive — Contracting a professional chip-timing service, the cost of which can easily exceed 1,000€.
- Painful — Manually recording times, using a stopwatch and paper, or typing into an Excel spreadsheet on a laptop.
An exciting new option exists that costs a fraction of a professional service, is convenient and easy to use, yet provides high quality, reliable results.
This past weekend, the nearby town of San Pedro celebrated its annual “24 hours of sports” festival, during which a variety of sporting events are…
Yesterday we got a glimpse of the future of race timing, as the Makalu team traveled to Atarfe, Spain to conduct a live demonstration of our new product, RaceSplitter — an iPhone application for race timing.
