XC Team Timer
Mile splits for the whole pack.
Stand at the mile marker and catch your whole team crossing seconds apart. Every runner gets their own cumulative mile splits, progress chart through the season, and the PRs badge themselves before you're back at the finish chute.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best app to hand-time a 5K with splits?
XC Team Timer is built for exactly this: one coach at a mile marker timing a full pack, with per-runner cumulative splits and automatic PR tracking.
Can one coach time 40 runners at once?
Yes. Runners are one tap each as they cross, and the app keeps every runner's individual clock and splits straight.
How do splits work?
Every runner's clock runs independently. Tap a runner at each checkpoint — miles by default — and the app keeps their cumulative splits: 5:57, 12:01, 18:42.
What happens if a call comes in mid-race?
The timer keeps running. Take the call, come back, and your times are intact.
Who is Team Timer for — coaches or parents?
Both. A coach can chart several teams across the entire year — every athlete's splits, PRs, and season bests in one place — and a parent can track their own child's progress in each event, meet by meet. If it's your team you care about, this is built for you.
Does it work for club and youth teams?
Yes. Rosters, events, and meets are yours to set up — school teams, club programs, and youth leagues all work the same way.
Can I look up an athlete's PRs?
Yes. Every athlete has their own page — full race history, PRs, and season bests — ready the moment someone asks.
Can I enter times from a meet I didn't time in the app?
Yes. You can add results after the fact, and they count toward PRs and season bests like any other race.
How do I share results with parents and athletes?
One tap turns any result into a share card — a clean image with the time and splits, ready for the team group chat. Season stats share the same way from each athlete's page.
How do I get my roster in?
Import it from a spreadsheet as a CSV in seconds, or add athletes by hand. Next season, rollover graduates your seniors and moves everyone else forward — no retyping.
Does it work with no cell service?
Yes. Everything works offline — timing, results, rosters. Data syncs through iCloud whenever you're back in coverage.
How much does it cost?
The Coach Plan — unlimited athletes — is $59.99/year or $12.99/month. The Parent Plan — up to 4 athletes, for following your own kids — is $23.99/year or $4.99/month. Billed through the App Store (USD); auto-renews, cancel anytime in your App Store settings.
