Smartracks Run App

The Smart Run App is a high-performance athlete tracking app that provides accurate timing and biomechanical insights – whether used with the DX5.0 Sensor or as a standalone solution at SmarTracks-enabled locations. Available for iOS and Android, the app supports seamless data capture and performance analysis, with full functionality available at no additional cost.

Versatile Use

Works with DX5.0 sensor & Mobile Timing Gates; DX5.0 sensor & integrated gates or just your smartphone on any SmarTracks location.

How does it work?

On a SmarTracks Location, Smart Run communicates with the facility’s underground Timing Gates. The app captures the Gates’ magnetic signal, processes them and provides you timing results.

Simply secure your smartphone in a running belt on the lower back and the app will provide timing and step information. After your run, you see your results immediately.

The Smart Run App provides reliable running data to support your training. For the highest level of accuracy and full biomechanical insights, pair the app with our DX5.0 sensor.” 

Data at 500Hz with the DX5.0 sensor

DX5.0 sensor compatibility – supports sprinting, distance running, run-ups, and select change-of-direction (COD) tests.

Smartphone-only mode – enables sprinting and distance running tracking without additional hardware.

If you have our DX5.0 sensor, you can use the Smart Run app to receive high-resolution timing and step information. You get the timing immediately livestreamed on your smartphone and can see all results in the app or online. More information on the DX5.0 sensor here.

No, if you time your run with the smartphone, the smartphone must be worn on the lower back (L4/L5). You can use a regular running belt for this.
Our partner Polytan offers a suitable smartphone belt, to view it in their online shop, click here.
