Impela, ukugijima kungukutshala imali empilweni yakho, kepha izindleko zazo zonke izinhlanga zingangezwa ngokushesha. Izindleko ezimaphakathi zokubhalisa uhhafu wemarathon ngu-$95, kubika i-Esquire, futhi lokho kwakubuye ngo-2013, ngakho lelo nani cishe liphezulu kakhulu namuhla. Khonamanjalo, amabanga amade angakwazi ukukubuyisela emuva ama-Benjamin ambalwa (i-Boston Marathon ingu-$180, i-Los Angeles Marathon ingu-$200, kanti i-New York City Marathon ingu-$255).

Izinhlanga ezihleliwe zibone ukucwila ngokuphelele ekubambeni iqhaza kule minyaka emithathu edlule, kubika i-Running USA. Nakuba lokhu kungahlotshaniswanga ngokuqondile nezindleko zokungenela, ukukhuphuka kwezindleko zomjaho bekungaba nendima. Noma uthanda ukugijima, kungani ungakwenzi mahhala uma unezinhlanga ezimbalwa zohlu lwamabhakede ngaphansi kwebhande lakho?

Kodwa iqembu labasebenzi bakwa-Google nabashisekeli bokugijima banethemba lokwehlisa izindleko zokugijima yonke leyo mijaho ohlwini lwakho lwezinto okufanele uzenze. U-Chase Rigby, u-Tom Hammel, no-Thomas Hanson basanda kwethula i-Racepass, ubulungu bokuqala obusekelwe kokubhaliselwe ukuze kwehliswe izindleko zezindleko zomjaho.

Amalungu akhokha imali eyisicaba yokufinyelela izinhlanga ezingaphezu kuka-5 000 emhlabeni jikelele. Kusukela ekwethulweni kwayo ngoMeyi 9, Abagijimi banezinketho ezintathu zokubhaliselwe: izinhlanga ezintathu ze- $ 195 ngonyaka; amahlanu ngama- $ 295 ngonyaka, nenketho engenamkhawulo, yomjaho-wenhliziyo yakho ngo- $ 695 ngonyaka. Noma yimuphi umgijimi othanda ukugijima angakwazi ngokushesha ukwenza izibalo futhi abone ukuthi lokho kuyinzuzo. (Awuzithandi izibalo? Lapha: Uma umjaho ojwayelekile ukubuyisela emuva u-$95, futhi ufuna ukwenza imijaho emithathu ngonyaka, uzokubiza u-$285. Kodwa amalungu ezinhlanga ezintathu zeRacepass angonga u-$90 ngenani elifanayo lemijaho. .) Ibhonasi: Ababhalisile beRacepass banakho ukufinyelela ohlelweni lokuqeqeshwa nakuma-trackers, futhi bangakha amaqembu, basebenzele umgomo owabiwe, noma bameme abangani emijahweni eqonde ngqo endaweni yesikhulumi.

"Njengabagijimi, bekusobala kithi ukuthi ukugijima okulula bekungavezwa embonini yezemijaho," kusho uRigby, esitatimendeni sabezindaba. "Nge-Racepass, sifuna ukukhuthaza abantu ukuthi bagijime eminye imijaho, sisize abaqondisi bezinhlanga ukwehlisa izindleko zokuthola ababhalisile bomjaho, futhi sinikeze abaxhasi bomjaho nemikhiqizo yezemidlalo isisombululo esisebenza kangcono sokukhangisa."

Maduze nje ngeke uzizwe unecala ngoku-oda lezo zithombe ezinhle zomugqa wokuqeda ezikubiza imali eyi-100.
