How it works

Three steps, about a minute, and you never need to dig out a crumpled barcode again.

  1. Enter your athlete ID

    It's the A and number under your barcode. Pasting your parkrun profile link works too.

  2. Pick your parkruns

    Tap once to add your nearest events, or search. Your pass pops up when you arrive.

  3. Scan at the finish

    Open Wallet on your iPhone or Apple Watch and show the barcode to the scanner.

On your wrist

Your pass syncs to Apple Watch and shows a QR code there, so you can leave your phone at home.

Ready at the finish

Pick up to 10 events and your pass pops up on your lock screen when you arrive.

Private by design

No account, no tracking cookies. Your location never leaves your device and we don't keep your details.

Questions

See all questions

Can I use a digital parkrun barcode instead of a printed one?

Yes. parkrun accepts barcodes shown on a phone or watch, as long as the scanner can read them. It's still worth carrying your printed barcode or wristband as a backup in case your battery runs out.

How do I add my parkrun barcode to Apple Wallet?

Enter your athlete ID on scanme.run, choose your usual events and tap Add to Apple Wallet. On iPhone the pass opens straight in Wallet. On a computer, scan the QR code with your iPhone camera.

Does it work on Apple Watch?

Yes. Passes added on your iPhone appear on a paired Apple Watch automatically. Apple Watch can't show the classic barcode (Code 128), so it shows a QR code with the same athlete ID instead. The scanning app used at events reads QR codes.

I have an Android phone. Can I use scanme.run?

Yes. Use Save as image or Add to home screen. The offline barcode page works on any phone and can be added to your home screen like an app. Google Wallet support is planned.
