NordicRaceTrace

The Nordic ski timing app built by coaches, for coaches.

NordicRaceTrace turns your iPhone or iPad into a race timer built for the way Nordic coaches actually work. Take splits anywhere on the course, time the finish line at your local club event, or run a team time trial — from the rollerski loop and the running track to college carnivals and beyond — and share results live with athletes, parents, and fans.

— SPLIT TIMING —
Stand anywhere on the course and tap bibs as athletes pass. NordicRaceTrace shows each skier's time back from the leader at your spot — and, from the second pass, who is gaining or losing places, so you know exactly what to shout.
• Mass starts, 15/20/30-second intervals, or custom start times from a start list
• Tap the same bib again for the next lap — no lap setup needed
• Tap a name tile instead of typing when a start list is loaded
• Highlight your team or follow up to five athletes

— RACE TIMING —
A complete finish-line workflow.
• Impulse + Post: capture the time the instant an athlete crosses, and confirm the bib before or after
• FIS start sequence out loud — five beeps and a start tone for every interval starter
• Mark DNS, DNF, or DSQ with a long press, reversible any time
• Ties ranked correctly; the screen stays awake for the whole race
• Times are saved continuously and survive a crash or force-quit

— TEAM TIME TRIAL —
Time your roster by name — no bibs. Ideal for practice and pre-season tests like a 3000 m track run or a hill climb.
• Build the start list on nordicracetrace.com or in the app, set the order, and load it in seconds
• Add a guest racer on the spot and keep their result
• Simple mode (tap the name) or Accurate mode (tap Impulse, then the name)
• Results save straight to your team page, with personal bests across the season

— HARDWARE TIMER (BETA) —
Connect a Summit race timer over Bluetooth for hardware-accurate finish times and use of peripherals like start wand, finish beam, clocks, and plungers. Start the race from the timer for an exact clock lock; if the link drops, the timer keeps every record and a Reprint pulls back anything missed. Every time carries the timer's own tape number so results can be checked line by line and are accurate to the timer's FIS standards.

— START LISTS —
Import from public race start lists on nordicracetrace.com, a CSV file, a photo of a printed list, or type them in.

— SHARE RESULTS LIVE —
• Tap Share Live to publish a public results link — no login needed to view
• Add a second phone as a co-timer; times merge automatically
• Review, correct, and publish final results on the web reconcile page
• Clear warnings if times stop reaching the server — your times are always safe on the phone

— WORKS WITH YOUR TEAM —
• Sign in with Apple or Google
• Build your roster on nordicracetrace.com and it syncs to the app
• Recurring events track all-time standings and personal bests through the season
• Export results to CSV or PDF, or share by text or email
• Works offline — timing never needs a connection

— FREE & PRO —
• Free: time races and splits on the number pad without a start list, view results, save to Events, follow live races
• Pro (7-day free trial): start list import, team time trials, Share Live and co-timers, and creating Events
