Welcome to RunScore
RunScore is one of the world's most popular race scoring programs — and for good reason. It's built to give you unmatched speed and accuracy whether you're timing a local 5K or a large multi-event race weekend.
If you're brand new to RunScore, you're in exactly the right place. This section walks you through everything from installation to generating your first results, one step at a time. No prior race-scoring experience is required.
What RunScore does for you
- Manages participant data — store names, ages, bib numbers, clubs, and any custom fields your event requires
- Captures finish times — manually, from timing mats, or from external timing devices
- Scores and ranks results — by age group, gender, division, team, and more
- Produces reports and awards — formatted results lists, labels, exports, and live results feeds
