Add runners
Runners are added in the portal. A unique QR code is assigned automatically.
+1 lapLap counted
Digital lap tracking with your smartphone.
QR LapScan turns smartphones into mobile capture devices: runners get an individual QR code, helpers scan it on the course, and the recorded laps are ready for evaluation afterwards.
How it works
From QR code to evaluated lap.
Four steps from preparation to evaluation.
Hand out QR codes
The assigned QR code is printed, for example on a wristband. Alternatively, already prepared QR codes can be used. The code is then linked to the runner through the app together with the portal, for example at check-in on event day.
Record laps
Helpers scan the QR code with the app whenever a runner passes by. Every valid scan counts one lap, repeated scans within a short time are only counted once. Data is transmitted to the portal in near real time, bundled after a certain number of scans to save data.
Evaluate
The app already shows an overview on site, for example total laps and number of runners. In the portal you can additionally configure which data is displayed there.
Practical for everyone helping on site.
QR LapScan uses what's already there and keeps lap tracking simple for helpers.
- Smartphones you already have work as scanners
- No personal account needed for every helper
- Works without a permanent internet connection
- QR codes can be assigned flexibly on site
Two parts, one solution.
App
The tool for mobile data capture on site. Lap tracking is its main use case.

Why QR LapScan came to be
From the field.
Many charity and sponsored runs still count laps with rubber bands. It works, but it's no longer up to date and hard to evaluate. Professional RFID systems are powerful but often too expensive for smaller events. QR LapScan closes that gap: scan a QR code, save the lap, and get a traceable result.
- No dedicated scanners needed
- Scans are stored locally
- Double scans count only once
- QR codes assignable on site
Wristband tips
Start cheap
Disposable paper-style control bands, often made of Tyvek, can be printed with prepared QR codes yourself.
Reuse them
Silicone bands with a slide-on QR element work well across multiple events, as long as they're actually collected and reused.
Scan easily
Short content, large enough codes and good contrast noticeably improve recognition and speed.
