RUNNING COACH'S CLIPBOARD Put the stopwatches, paper and handwritten athlete lists aside. Running Coach's Clipboard gives coaches, athletes, parents and running fans a powerful way to time races, capture splits, manage athletes and record results — all in one app. Built for track, cross country, road racing, race walking and workouts, Running Coach's Clipboard lets you spend less time managing stopwatches and more time watching your athletes. TIME UP TO 100 ATHLETES Time and track up to 100 athletes in the same event. Record individual splits as athletes pass, capture finishing times with a tap, and follow the entire race as it happens. Choose from a comprehensive collection of distances and events: • Sprints and distance races • Cross country • Road racing • Race walking • Relays • Workouts and repeats • Metric and imperial distances • Custom events Select boys, girls, men, women or mixed competition, along with heats, semifinals and finals. KNOW WHO YOU'RE TIMING Build your own athlete database with names, teams, schools, notes and optional photos. Quickly select athletes and assign them to events. Set up your athletes and events before a meet, then load everything when it's time to race. SPLITS AND FINISH TIMES Running Coach's Clipboard maintains a live record of each athlete's splits and finishing time. Instead of juggling several stopwatches while trying to write times on paper, simply tap the athlete as they pass. For longer races, optional audio announcements can call out the running stopwatch time so you can keep your eyes on the competitors. BUILT FOR RELAYS Create relay teams and assign athletes to individual legs. During the race, Running Coach's Clipboard follows the relay from runner to runner while preserving individual leg times. FIELD EVENTS TOO Running Coach's Clipboard isn't limited to running events. Record performances in: • High Jump • Pole Vault • Long Jump • Triple Jump • Shot Put • Discus • Javelin • Hammer Throw • Weight Throw For horizontal jumps and throws, record performances in metric or imperial measurements, including passes and fouls. For vertical jumps, track heights, attempts, clearances, misses and passes. MISSED THE START? Missed the start of a race by a few seconds? No problem. The Late Start feature lets you start the clock after the race has begun and enter how much time has already elapsed. Running Coach's Clipboard automatically adjusts the race clock and athlete times. RACE PREDICTIONS Enter a performance at one distance and use the built-in predictor to estimate equivalent performances at other distances. Multiple prediction formulas help coaches and athletes compare performances and plan workouts, races and goals. SAVE AND SHARE RESULTS Keep meet and workout results for later review, or quickly share and export them for use with other apps, spreadsheets and databases. WORKS EVEN WITHOUT INTERNET No Wi-Fi at the track or out on the cross country course? No problem. Core timing and recording features work without an active internet connection. Record the race now and share the results later. MORE THAN A STOPWATCH Whether you're timing three runners during a workout or keeping track of an entire team at a meet, Running Coach's Clipboard is built around one simple idea: Spend less time managing the stopwatch — and more time watching your athletes.
