Smart Run provides accurate running data. The app is particularly suitable for high-precision measurement of sprint times and cadence on running tracks.
This does not require a special equipment setup. Smart Run allows you to connect to dedicated tracks, called SmarTracks locations. These tracks have built-in technology that allows you to time your run with high precision via a smartphone.
If you use the app in combination with a SmarTracks DX5.0 sensor and a Mobile Gates Set or with a SmarTracks DX5.0 sensor and a SmarTracks location, you can receive the timing results via livestream on your smartphone.

Equipment requirements
The app is designed to be used with a belt holding the smartphone at the lower back. Results from using the app in other positions on the athlete's body will be less accurate. We recommend purchasing a flexible running belt that allows you to wear the smartphone on your lower back. Suitable belts can be purchased from our partner Polytan, among others: https://www.kuebler-sport.de/polytan-smart-timing-belt-p5027.html
Location requirements
For precise measurements of runs, the app should be used with SmarTracks locations or a Mobile Gates Set. SmarTracks locations have integrated timing gates strategically placed throughout the course for high-resolution timing. SmarTracks locations are built exclusively by our partner SportGroup.
You can find all locations with SmarTracks at www.smartracks.run/locations.
Some of these tracks are open to the public, others are private or run by universities, sports clubs or municipalities. If in doubt, please check with the track operator.
