Race Pacer

Race Pacer is a race-day companion for hybrid fitness races. Most athletes lose time in three places: starting the runs too fast, slow transitions, and stations with no pacing plan. Race Pacer helps with all three. PACE TO YOUR GOAL Enter a target finish time or your recent 5K and get target splits for all 8 runs, all 8 stations, and transitions, based on race-data medians for your division and finish bracket. Use presets for sub-1:40, sub-1:30 and sub-1:20, or go custom. RACE LIVE ON APPLE WATCH Start a race or simulation on your wrist. One tap marks each station, so run, station, and transition times are recorded separately. A live time bank shows whether you're ahead of or behind your plan, with a haptic nudge the moment you slip. Heart rate is included, and GPS helps detect your runs so you tap less. FIND YOUR LOST MINUTES After the race, see a full timeline and a breakdown of where you lost time versus your plan and your division's median. Share a clean race-report card to your stories. FREE RESULT ANALYZER Already raced? Paste your official splits and get the same breakdown instantly. No account needed. PRO - Unlimited race plans - Live time bank + transition tracking on Apple Watch - Post-race benchmark vs your division - Full history and progress over time Race plans and results stay on your device. Race Pacer collects limited non-linked product analytics to improve core features and reliability.
