Run Lap Tap: XC Race Timer4.23 - App Store

Run Lap Tap is the fastest way to time cross country races, track laps, and celebrate progress - built for cross country coaches, PE teachers, and running clubs.

Tap a name. Record a finish. That's it.

Set up a cross country race, lap event, or time trial in seconds. Add your squad from a roster, hit start, and tap runners as they cross the line. Every split, every finish position, every personal best - captured instantly.

FOUR WAYS TO RECORD
Use whatever works for your setup:
. Tap - tap runner cards on-screen as they pass
. Bib Entry - type bib numbers on a keypad
. QR Codes - scan printed QR labels with the camera
. NFC - tap NFC wristbands for hands-free recording

LIVE EVENTS
Go live and share a link families can watch - a race clock and results that update as you record, no app needed. Other teachers join with a code and time from their own phones, every tap flowing into your official results.

THREE EVENT MODES
. Race - mass start, tap to finish
. Lap Timing - multi-lap events with individual splits and colour-coded cards that change with each lap
. Time Trial - staggered starts with individual timing

UNLIMITED LAPS MODE
Don't know how many laps? Set laps to "Unlimited" and let runners keep going. Finish them manually when time is up - perfect for timed fitness sessions.

ROSTERS & QR LABELS
Create class rosters, import from CSV or paste a list. Every runner gets a persistent QR code - print them once as A4 PDF sheets and reuse across every event all year.

ACHIEVEMENTS & BADGES
35 auto-awarded badges across six categories: distance milestones (1km to 100km), consistency, personal bests, improvement, speed, and fun achievements. Runners earn badges like "Half Marathon Hero" and "Lightning Lap" as they participate - no extra work for you.

PROGRESS TRACKING
See cumulative distance, total laps, event history, and personal bests for every runner. Track class-wide stats, set distance or lap goals, and watch progress rings fill up over the term.

CERTIFICATES
Generate printable PDF certificates for milestones, event completions, personal bests, or create your own custom awards. Bulk-generate for the whole class in one tap.

CLASS ANALYTICS
Combined class distance, participation rates, achievement counts, and per-runner breakdowns - with an anonymisation toggle for displaying on screen.

EXPORT EVERYTHING
Share results as CSV or formatted PDF reports. Export QR label sheets. Everything is shareable via email, AirDrop, or cloud storage.

iCLOUD SYNC
All data syncs automatically across your iPhone and iPad. Set up rosters on one device, time events on another.

FREE TO USE

Version History Race-day fixes.

• Pause now keeps the correct time. After pausing and resuming, the clock could jump back and affect times recorded afterwards. Thanks to the teacher who reported it
• The screen now stays on while you're timing, so your phone won't lock at the finish line
• The race clock stays accurate even if your phone locks during an event 4.23 19h ago New: timed lap events.

Run "most laps in 12 minutes", a lap-a-thon, or a timed endurance event.

• When you create a Lap Timing event, choose Finish by: Time limit and set the duration
• The clock counts down and calls time at zero. Laps after the whistle aren't counted, on your phone or any helper's phone
• Results rank runners by most laps, then fastest time
• Live results pages show families the countdown

Also: lap events where nobody reached the lap target now rank every runner properly, plus a layout fix on the event screen. 4.22 Sep 30 Live Events are here.

• Go Live — turn any event into a live one in a tap. Families follow along on a web link that updates as you record. No app or account needed for them
• Time together — other teachers join with a 6-character code and record from their own phones. Every tap flows to your device, which keeps the official results. Duplicate taps at the finish line are handled automatically
• Live results page shows a race clock, running status, and standings; when you finish, it becomes a permanent results link
• Sign in with Apple is optional — only the host needs it

Also: onboarding fixes for larger text sizes, and small polish throughout. 4.21 Sep 17 New: Student-Run Station mode

Set up a station where students record their own laps on a propped-up iPad:

• Turn it on per event — students tap, scan a QR, or tap an NFC band as they pass
• A minimum lap time (you choose it) stops early re-scans, so lap counts stay honest
• Big, friendly on-screen feedback students can read from a distance
• QR scanner faces them with the front camera

Plus small fixes and polish. 4.20 Sep 14 Two improvements from real coaches' feedback:

• Larger text sizes fixed — with bigger accessibility text, one intro screen could hide its continue button entirely. Every onboarding screen now scrolls, so you can always move forward
• Sign in with Apple (optional) — connect your account in Settings → Account, ahead of upcoming live, multi-device timing features. Everything in the app still works without it

Plus small fixes and polish. 4.19 Sep 8 Students switching classes? Sorted.

• Move a runner to another roster — open their profile and tap Move to Another Roster. Results, achievements, goals, and QR/NFC wristband pairings all travel with them
• Add a runner to several rosters — handy for students in more than one class or squad

Plus small fixes and polish for carnival season. 4.18 Aug 31 Bring your own bib numbers!

• Give any runner a custom bib number — it sticks with them across every event
• Bulk-assign a whole roster from any starting number (100s for one age group, 200s for the next)
• Import bib numbers straight from your CSV or pasted list
• Edit any number on the Bibs & QR screen, with instant duplicate warnings
• Smarter Auto-Assign fills missing numbers without touching your numbering
• Fresh start: new Reset Data options in Settings — clear events, progress, or everything

Your printed QR labels and NFC wristbands keep working — they follow the runner, not the number. 4.17 Aug 27 New flexible plans — go weekly, annual, or lifetime, whatever suits you.

Plus performance improvements to keep your race days running smoothly. Live multi-device results are on the way. 4.16 Aug 11 Behind-the-scenes improvements to keep your race days running smoothly.

Live multi-device results are getting closer — stay tuned. 4.14 Jul 13 Performance and reliability improvements under the hood.

This update lays the groundwork. More very soon. 4.13 Jul 6 Performance optimizations and stability improvements across the app. Faster lap tagging, smoother results screens, and we squashed several bugs you reported.
