# Run timer for skateboarding, scootering & BMX

The Run Timer is designed for sports like skate, scooter, and BMX, where athletes complete timed individual runs. It helps event directors and judges manage run times consistently and accurately 
without needing an external timer.

# Activation & Configuration

You can enable the run timer in advanced event settings:

We have also built a screen containing the run timer which you can project within your venue for athletes and spectators to see, just click on the 'Run timer display'. This is what it looks like:
