BULK AGE-GRADE

Have you ever wondered how well for your age you did in a running race? Bulk Age-Grade is an automated tool that quickly adds age-grading to race results.

This is an RPG (Running Player Game, that is 😉) in which you try to bring the grand prize back to the homebase. It's a cross between a maze game, such as Ms. Pac-Man, and a trail race. Earn pts for catching the grand prize (+5) or a prize (+1). But you lose pts if you're caught by an enemy (-3) or archenemy (-5). If you drop below 0 pts, you must return to the homebase to be resurrected. The game is over when someone returns the grand prize or after 40 minutes, whichever comes first.

RUN BIATHLON

Have you ever watched the biathlon in the Winter Olympics and thought That would be fun, but I don't have snow, skis, rifle and targets. Well, with RUN BIATHLON, all you need is a 400m track and a smartphone to get a taste of what it's like! There are two distances: 5K ("Sprint") & 10K. You alternate between running laps & shooting virtual targets with your phone. For every missed shot, a 100m penalty "loop" is run immediately following that round of shooting. Race head-to-head ("Mass start") or individually and compare your time to that of other people around the globe.

TREE-ATHLON

Portland Heritage Trees and return to your Home tree. Or do the Half Tree-a-thon and visit only 13 before returning Home. "Home" is the first tree you visit and can be any Heritage Tree. To "visit" a tree, you must click the [Tree Scan] button and scan the QR code located on the tree's nameplate. You must scan your Home tree a second time when you finish in order to stop the clock. Do the Tree-athlon by yourself, or join a group Event. And please BE CAREFUL crossing streets. Here's a Demo Video

WURDLE HURDLE

Do you get restless playing word games? Do you find exercise mind-numbing? WurdleHurdle is here to help. It's the perfect combination of a popular word game with a track workout. Run a lap (leaping over hurdle optional), guess a 5-letter word, and repeat until you've correctly guessed the word and run one last lap. Then compare your time to that of other people around the globe.

TRACK SPLITS (Under Construction)

TRACK SPLITS automatically detects the intervals within a track workout recorded on a GPS device and reports the interval times and splits. The accuracy is generally +/- 2 seconds, so worse than hand timing, but better than raw GPS data. It accomplishes this by taking into account the actual length of the track.
