The 36-year-old San Francisco marathon attracts over 25,000 runners and 100,000 spectators from the US and abroad. Wipro is proud to continue the partnership into 2013. 'The San Francisco Marathon' is now called 'The Wipro San Francisco Marathon'. This is a matter of great pride and elation for the Wipro family. This event showcases the spirit and dedication of the many individuals and teams who run the race, and it also demonstrates Wipro's commitment to giving back to the communities where we work.
The San Francisco Marathon is known as the "tech marathon," offering cutting edge technology resources including runner and spectator mapping and tracking to participants, as well as virtual couponing and high tech apparel. In addition to this, Wipro's iPhone app includes a "Sport" feature which runners can use for training by using its in-built digital pedometer.
This brings together a technology focused community event and a global leader in IT, consulting and outsourcing. This partnership is a glimpse into the future of marathon running. The Tech Center at the Expo showcases the best tools and programs for runners, where they can also post updates to Facebook and Twitter, publishing live to the SF Marathon social media feeds and join Ambassadors for Meet-Ups and Tweet-Ups.
