Race Day Guide

Help

TeamSplits tracks your relay race in real time — projected finish times, leg-by-leg splits, and a live leaderboard across all teams.

Setting Up Your Team

Do this before race day so your crew is ready to go.

1

Create your team

From the home page, tap Create Team and choose your race (e.g. Hood to Coast 2026).

2

Add runners and paces

Enter each runner's name and expected pace in minutes per mile. You can update this per leg later but this is a critical part of estimating each leg start time.

3

Share the link

Anyone with the link can see live progress. For people who should only watch (not record), share the view-only link from the settings menu instead.

4

Set your start time

Enter your official wave start time on the team page once it's confirmed. Starting leg 1 will overwrite this anyway with your actual start time.

During the Race

One person — usually the van captain — should be in charge of recording times. Everyone else can watch using the shared link.

Starting a leg

When your runner crosses the exchange point and takes off, tap the Finish Leg • Start Leg button in the Now Running section of the team page Do this at the moment they leave — the time is recorded immediately.

Undoing a mistake

Tapped Start or Finish by accident? There is an undo button that briefly appears after each exchange. You can also open the settings menu and tap the Undo button there.

Navigating to the exchange zone

Each leg card has a Directions link that opens navigation to the start of that leg — the spot where that runner will get the handoff and start their leg.

Changing the runner or pace for a leg

Tap the runner name shown on any leg card to open the leg editor. From there you can swap who is running that leg or set a custom pace just for that leg — useful when someone subs in or you know a particular segment will be faster or slower than usual.

Skipping a leg

If you missed recording a leg or are offline, use Jump to Leg from the settings menu to record accurate times without saving bad data for other legs.

Following Along

View-only link

Supporters and family can follow live without being able to change anything. Find this link in the settings menu and share it instead of the main team URL.

Leaderboard

The leaderboard shows all TeamSplits teams running the same race. Tap the Leaderboard button in the header to see rankings by live progress, projected finish time, or overall pace.

No Cell Service?

TeamSplits works offline.

Your team data is saved to your device so you can record start and finish times even in dead zones. Everything syncs automatically once you have signal again. The dot in the header turns orange when you're offline and green when you're connected.

Common Questions

Can I accidentally mess something up for the whole team?

Yes — anyone with the full team link can record times. Everything can be undone or updated in the event of a mistake. If you're worried, use the view-only link so you can follow safely.

What if I didn't set everyone's pace?

Projections default to an 8:00/mile pace for any runner without one set. You can update paces anytime by clicking on the name assigned to the leg and projections will recalculate immediately.

What if I recorded a time at the wrong moment?

Use Undo from the settings menu immediately after the mistake. You can also enter God Mode from the settings menu and manually adjust a single time or cascade to the adjacent exchange times too
