Our story
We got tired of comparing stopwatches at the finish line
XC Splits started at a chilly invitational where three coaches held three different stopwatches — and three different finish times for the same runner. There had to be a better way.
Cross country is a sport of seconds. A pack of runners can cross a checkpoint in the space of a breath, and the coaches trying to catch those splits are usually parents and assistants scattered across a course, each squinting at their own watch.
We built XC Splits so a whole team could time a race off a single official clock. The head coach starts it once. Every helper's phone locks onto the same time. Taps at Mile 1, Mile 2, and the finish roll up into one clean result — no syncing, no math, no arguments at the line.
It's made by people who have stood at those checkpoints, for the coaches and volunteers who make race day happen.
Built for the course, not the lab
Timing happens outdoors, in the cold, with cell service that comes and goes. Every decision starts from what actually works trailside — not what demos well.
Anyone can help
A parent should be able to time a checkpoint with zero training. If a tool needs a manual, it fails the people who volunteer their Saturday mornings.
One clock, no arguments
Split-second disputes end when everyone is on the same official time. Shared truth is the whole point.
The athletes own their numbers
Splits and PRs belong to the runners who earned them. We keep the history clean so progress is always easy to see.
