A conversation with Gary McNamee, Founder & CEO of Outside Interactive
In the next episode of 26.2 Podcast on Traxamo, I sit down with Gary McNamee, Founder & CEO of Outside Interactive and chat about Simulator product which recreates the race day experience of running a race on equipments in your living rooms. Let’s say you are running the 2024 New York City Marathon virtually during November first week and you have a Peloton treadmill at home; using Outside Interactive’s Simulator, NYC Marathon organizers can bring you the race day experience - running the actual race course with it’s electrifying crowd support that pervades the whole city. And we are going to experience exactly the same on Aug 10 & 11th where people from all over the world can participate on a connected race on the actual Paris Olympic 2024 Marathon Course on Kino Maps platform.
