The pioneers of GPS tracking for outdoor events

When the spirit of adventure meets cutting-edge technology!

Owaka's story does not start behind screens but in the field. It was born from the dust of the tracks and from a blunt observation: outdoor sports event organisers deserved better. Better than hastily patched tracking solutions, better than devices that switch off at the worst moment, and above all better than being left to fend for themselves against the whims of technology and weather.

Because we have worn out our own boots and tyres on the most demanding routes, we know the stress of race control. We know what it means to be responsible for dozens, hundreds of lives launched into the wild.

To meet this challenge we built our own live GPS tracking platform. Our obsession? Creating a solution of absolute reliability, able to simplify race management and to keep running in the most extreme conditions. Where the world stops, in the heart of arid deserts, on alpine ridges or in the most isolated dead zones, Owaka keeps transmitting. But technology is nothing without people: we built a team of passionate experts, dedicated to guiding every organiser step by step, from the first briefing to the finish line.

Today the early dream has become the European reference for event GPS tracking. Owaka is the beating heart of more than 200 events every year. Outdoor legends such as the Marathon des Sables, the BikingMan or the Rallye Roses des Sables trust us with the safety of their participants and the spectacle of their live tracking.

From legendary races to more intimate challenges, our promise has stayed the same since day one: connecting adventurers to the rest of the world, with complete peace of mind.

Owaka can combine both technologies for your event. You get the unfailing reliability of satellite in areas with no network, and the ultra-precise responsiveness of GSM everywhere else.

Turnkey logistics support and tracking equipment
Because the success of an event lies in the details, Owaka does more than hand you trackers. Our event GPS trackers are light, fully standalone and need no complex wiring or costly mounts. We pay particular attention to packaging and provide the field solutions best suited to your disciplines: sturdy mounting systems, cables, power banks and strategic advice on recharging when needed.

From defining your needs to deploying your custom live tracking map, our team of experts guides you step by step to make your event a technical, safety and media success.
