The complete start line

A configurable starter, reaction lab, camera tool, and session companion.

RaceCue is built for sprinters training on their own, athletes working with a coach, and groups running repeatable starts. The main dial keeps the sequence simple while deeper controls stay close when they are needed.

Everything in one training app

From the first command to the session review.

Use only the starter, or build a complete practice around reaction, recording, pressure, repetitions, and coach feedback.

01 / STARTER

Realistic start sequences

Adjust On Your Marks pacing, the Set hold and timing variation. Choose recorded starter personas, custom commands, nine pistol or clap signals, and electronic or double-pistol recalls.

02 / REACTION

Reaction Practice

Run movement or touch drills, estimate the response after GO, flag early movement, compare recent attempts, or use the main sequence while the stopwatch continues through the sprint.

03 / CAMERA

Camera Start Detection

Mount the phone side-on, use the front or rear camera, and optionally start hands-free when the athlete settles. Camera reaction timing can estimate first movement after GO.

04 / VIDEO

Automatic Start Video

Prepare either camera once and record each start from before the commands until shortly after GO. Preview the latest repetition and save only the useful videos.

05 / PRESSURE

Competition simulation

Add real track ambience and random distractions while official commands remain dominant. Practise recalled starts, random stand-up commands, gun misfires, and changing Set holds.

06 / SESSIONS

History and progress

Run structured repetitions with recovery countdowns, create coach sessions with athlete and lane assignments, add notes and manual times, then review local history or export CSV results.

Recorded starter voices

Train in 15 starter languages.

Starter audio and the app interface can be selected independently. Use English commands with Arabic menus, or Turkish commands with an English interface. Arabic includes a right-to-left layout.

Train Your Way

From solo block work to coach-led groups.

01

Solo Athlete

Place RaceCue near the blocks and practise independently using realistic commands, reaction tools, camera detection, Start Video, competition pressure, and structured repetitions.

02

Bluetooth Speaker

Play commands through a nearby speaker when more volume is useful for outdoor, windy, or group sessions.

Bluetooth audio delay varies by device and speaker. Use the iPhone speaker for precision reaction work unless the setup has been calibrated.

03

Coach Starter

Give a coach direct control of On Your Marks, Set, GO, Stand Up, Recall, and Misfire for individual athletes or groups.

04

Structured Repetitions

Choose the number of starts, recovery duration, and sequence settings. RaceCue guides the session and records completed, interrupted, and false-start attempts.

05

Coach Sessions

Add athlete names and lane assignments, run starts, stop the training timer, enter externally measured times, attach notes, and export local CSV results.

Suitable for: block starts, acceleration runs, flying sprints, 10–60 m start work, 100 m and 150 m training, speed endurance, relay practice, and repeated technical starts.
