Track Laps, Mile Runs & PACER Tests Without the Clipboard.
RunTrak is a PE lap tracker and mile run tracker built for real physical education classes—so you can record student finishes in seconds instead of managing paper, stopwatches, and cleanup later.
Tap or scan students as they finish. RunTrak organizes results automatically in your Google Sheet, tracks student progress across the year, and keeps recording when Wi-Fi drops.
One-time purchase • No separate accounts • Teacher-owned Google Sheet • Use it all year
The problem
Tracking an entire PE class should not feel chaotic.
Whether students are running laps, completing a mile, or taking the PACER test, teachers should be able to focus on students—not scramble with clipboards, stopwatches, and manual spreadsheet cleanup after class.
What teachers are still doing
- Tracking finishes on clipboards
- Managing stopwatches while students cross
- Entering results into sheets later
- Using tools that were not built for PE class flow
What that causes
- Missed finish times at the line
- Extra work after class
- Less visibility into student progress
- More chaos on run days
PE lap tracking
A PE lap tracker built for whole classes
RunTrak gives PE teachers a faster way to track student laps and running results during class. Record finishes as they happen, keep each student connected to the right result, and build a running history you can use to show progress over time.
Track student laps in real time
Use RunTrak as a student lap tracker for running workouts, repeated laps, timed runs, and class fitness activities without stopping to write down every result.
Keep mile and PACER data together
Use the same system for lap tracking, mile run times, PACER scores, and progress monitoring so your running data stays organized in one place.
PACER testing
Original PACER audio, timed directly with your results
RunTrak includes an original 20-meter PACER track with spoken directions, clear shuttle tones, cumulative lap counts, level announcements, and upbeat instrumental music. The timer starts automatically when the track says “Go,” so the audio and recorded scores stay together.
Use RunTrak audio
Download the track once on each device, then use it without internet. RunTrak keeps the timer at 0:00 during the introduction, begins scoring at the exact start signal, and announces the completed lap total after each tone.
Prefer your own PACER track?
Select Use my own audio and RunTrak stays silent. Press Start when your track says “Go,” and continue recording student dropouts the same way.
The RunTrak fix
RunTrak lets you track laps, record mile runs, and capture PACER scores in real time while keeping your data in the tool you already know: Google Sheets.
- Tap or scan finishes instantly
- No missed times at the finish line
- Results organize automatically
- Students can see progress right away
- One-time purchase — no subscription
