Why Traditional Timing Breaks in Ultra Racing
Soggy, Lost Brevet Cards
Paper cards get soaked in rainstorms, shredded in frame bags, and lost in gravel crashes. After 1,000 km, deciphering mud-stained stamps is impossible.
Unmanned Checkpoint Friction
You can’t station volunteers on a 2,500m mountain pass in sub-zero winds. Relying on riders taking selfies at church signs leads to delayed verification and disputes.
Manual Result Spreadsheets
Organizers stay awake for 96 hours manually typing finisher times into Google Sheets. Dot-watchers get frustrated by stale split data.
How the Digital NFC Brevet Works
CHECKPOINT 2: SEWEEKSPOORT PASS
Location: km 284.2 | Weatherproof Tag #GRV-0842
01. 100% Offline Cryptographic Vault
The Gravalist offline engine signs every tap with the NFC tag's private key, local GPS coordinates, and device hardware time. Riders don't need a single bar of cellular signal to prove their arrival.
02. $1 Weatherproof Hardware Kit
We ship you rugged, waterproof 3M adhesive NFC tags. Stick them on a trail sign, a church gate, or inside a remote cafe. No batteries, no SIM cards, and zero maintenance.
03. Instant Dot-Watcher Leaderboard
The moment a rider passes a cellular tower, all queued checkpoint splits upload automatically. Your public leaderboard and social feeds update in real time without manual spreadsheet work.
