How the race timer works
The runner starts at the left of the track and moves toward the finish flag as the time passes. At zero the runner reaches the flag, the page shows Time’s up and the alarm plays if sound is on. Pause stops the runner; Reset brings it back to the start.
Beat-the-clock ideas
A visible race turns short tasks into a friendly challenge:
- Tidy the classroom before the runner reaches the flag (2–5 minutes)
- Finish a set of quick-fire questions in 3 minutes
- Line up before the race is over (1 minute)
- Warm-up exercises in PE for 5 minutes

Frequently asked questions
Still have a question? Get in touch
Can I choose how long the race lasts?
Yes. Pick a preset or type any time from 1 second to 24 hours; the runner always reaches the flag exactly at zero.
Does the race timer make a sound?
Only if you choose one. Set Sound to Off for a silent race; Time’s up still appears on screen.
