Run Your Mile & PACER Tests Without the Chaos
Tap or scan as students finish and automatically log results to your Google Sheet—no clipboards, no missed times, no cleanup later.
RunTrak is a simple web app + Google Sheet system for PE teachers who need a faster way to track mile runs, PACER scores, and student progress during class.
I built RunTrak because I wanted a simple way to track my classes and get meaningful results—without the hassle or high cost of other tools.
No installs • No accounts • Set up once • Use it all year
The problem
Mile run day or any other run day should not feel chaotic.
Teachers should be able to focus on students, not scramble with clipboards, stopwatches, and manual spreadsheet cleanup after class.
What teachers are still doing
- Tracking finishes on clipboards
- Managing stopwatches while students cross
- Entering results into sheets later
- Using tools that were not built for PE class flow
What that causes
- Missed finish times at the line
- Extra work after class
- Less visibility into student progress
- More chaos on run days
The RunTrak fix
RunTrak lets you record mile runs and PACER scores in real time while keeping your data in the tool you already know: Google Sheets.
- Tap or scan finishes instantly
- No missed times at the finish line
- Results organize automatically
- Students can see progress right away
- One-time purchase — no subscription
