Host your own track meet. Build a real ranking.
Track doesn't have a home venue the way team sports do — anyone with a field and a stopwatch can run a meet, but there's never been a lightweight way to organize it, record it, and have it count toward something bigger. Now there is.
How it works
Host or find a meet
Anyone can host a meet — a school, a club, a church league or an adult running group. No approval process, no special account required.
Athletes pre-register
Add an athlete profile once — your own, or your child's — then register for events ahead of meet day: sprints, middle distance, hurdles, relays or any stroke.
Dual-timed results
The coordinator times every heat with a stopwatch and records video side by side. If the two disagree by more than a fraction of a second, it's flagged for a quick review — not silently trusted either way.
Regional leaderboard
Results roll into a leaderboard of nearby athletes in the same age group and event — so a fast time means something beyond just one meet.
Starting with sprints
The 100m, 200m, and 400m are the easiest events to time and score with just a phone — no measuring tape, no throwing implements, nothing but a start and a finish. More events are on the roadmap.
How the ranking system works
Regional, not national
Leaderboards are built around meets near you, so "top 5 in the 100m" is a group who could line up against each other again — not names from another country.
Results expire after 6 months
A ranking has to be defended. If an athlete doesn't race again within 6 months, their result ages off the leaderboard, so rankings reflect who's active now, not who was fastest once.
First name + last initial, public
Public leaderboards show a first name and last initial by default — full details stay with the athlete's own account, which matters most for the young ones.
Registration
Hosting a meet is always free. Registering an athlete for an event costs $3 — most of which goes to the coordinator who organized the meet, since running one takes real time and effort even when it's informal.
