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 Run Lap Tap is free with up to 2 rosters and 30 runners per event — enough for most classes. Need more?
