I set up a trail event (rather than score) that took runners 5-6 hours. I was the only participant who managed to keep the phone going for the whole run and everyone else had to upload their gpx tracks from their watches. This made it quite a labour intensive process but luckily there weren't that many competitors.

I think for events of this length people need advice on battery optimisation and/or use of power packs. I'd have thought 3-4 hours should be OK for most people but you will always get folk who have old phones or start with insufficient charge!
