OnTracx

TLDR

OnTracx is a Ghent-based sports tech startup that develops sensor-based wearables and analytics tools for runners, providing biomechanical data to improve performance and reduce injury risk.

Overview

Based in Ghent, OnTracx builds hardware and software for serious runners who want more than GPS tracking. The company's sensors capture biomechanical data such as cadence, ground contact time, vertical oscillation, and load metrics that are relevant for performance coaching and injury prevention.

The data is analyzed through a companion app that provides personalized insights and training recommendations. OnTracx targets competitive amateur runners, running clubs, and coaching programs that want objective data to inform training decisions.

Sports performance monitoring is a growing category as wearable sensor technology becomes more accurate and affordable, and as the running community becomes more data-driven in its approach to training.
