About

Race Space HQ App

Features
Read full description

Race Space HQ App is the race-day check-in tool for event organisers and their volunteers. Sign in with your Race Space organiser account, pick your event, and start scanning. Scan a participant's ticket to pull up their details, scan or enter their bib number, and check them in — in seconds. Built for the realities of an event field: • Works offline. If the signal drops, you keep checking people in; everything syncs automatically when you're back online, with no double counts. • Live numbers. See how many racers are checked in against the total, updating as your team works across multiple devices. • Fast, focused scanning. A simple scan-and-confirm flow keeps queues moving at the start line. • Participant highlights. Spot key segments (for example wave groups or under-18s) at a glance. • Recent check-ins. Quickly confirm who you've just checked in. A Race Space organiser account with check-in access is required to use this app.
