The Problem & The Solution

The Chaos of Rubber Bands and Manual Lap Counting

You know the drill: sweaty volunteers, the constant fumbling for the next band, and the inevitable snap when a wrist gets slick. If a volunteer tracking 10K participants steps away for a water break, the new person has zero context. The runner’s *official* lap count is lost in the transfer, risking major discrepancies in donor pledge fulfillment. Relying solely on timing chips is risky, but the rubber band system offers a poor backup. When a volunteer is tracking multiple bib numbers simultaneously, the momentary distraction of someone crossing the finish line means a participant's lap is often missed or double-counted. That single error jeopardizes participant verification and undermines the integrity of your event results.

⚠️Stop relying on rubber bands on wrists and manual counting methods.

SnapCount: The Multiplayer Dashboard for Finish Line Accuracy

SnapCount turns every volunteer's phone into a networked counting station. As soon as Volunteer A registers a lap for Runner #123, that count is instantly updated on Volunteer B and the Event Director's dashboard. This real-time visibility eliminates shift-change confusion and ensures the total count is always accurate, regardless of who presses the button. Forget the frantic post-race transcription. With SnapCount, your official lap totals are digitized and archived the moment the last runner crosses the line. This streamlined approach guarantees accurate participant data for sponsor reports and simplifies the verification process needed to finalize those critical donor pledges based on completed laps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about using SnapCount for charity run laps

Can we use this alongside our existing timing chip system?

Yes. SnapCount serves as a robust, real-time verification backup, allowing volunteers at different checkpoints to confirm lap totals independently, providing redundancy against chip malfunctions.

What happens if the volunteer loses cell service temporarily?

SnapCount stores the counts locally and instantly syncs them to the main dashboard the moment connectivity is restored, preventing any data loss during peak flow or intermittent signal drops.

Can we track specific runner IDs or bib numbers?

Absolutely. You can label each counter instance with a specific runner's bib number or name, creating a dedicated, searchable ledger for every participant's lap progress, essential for participant verification.

How do we handle the final count tally for reporting?

The instant the race ends, the data is ready. Export a clean, verified CSV file of all participant lap counts, eliminating manual calculation errors for sponsor reports and pledge fulfillment.
