The Join an Ongoing Activity can be used by those who have a Marathon Kids account.

When someone or additional devices Join an Ongoing Activity all synced scans will go into one session log with that date and time in the Sessions table under the Participant tab.

Coach Instructions:

  1. Log into your account on the mobile app

  2. Select the Track/Activity.

  3. Tap Start Live Scanning.

  4. Tap the QR Code to allow volunteers to scan and join.

Volunteers Scan QR to Join

Supporter or Additional Device Instructions:

Step 1: Log in to the Scanner app.

Step 2: On the Run Club page, click Join An Ongoing Activity

Step 3: Scan the coach's QR code.

Now everyone is in one session and ready to scan!

At the end of the session, all devices need to:
