FinishTime Passport provides athletes with quick and easy access to a complete registration process at events where FinishTime manages the registration process. Runners, cyclists, triathletes, swimmers or any other potential entrants can quickly and easily ‘late enter’ any event where FinishTime is handling the registration. No information is saved away from your phone until your entry is processed. Event organisers only have access to information which you provide and which is relevant to the entry process. You enter the required data within the app on your phone, then you select the event that you would like to enter or register for. The app will create a unique QRCode for that event on your phone which FinishTime then scans and the relevant information is uploaded to the event. It is quick and safe.
