What is Race Mode?

Turn on Race Mode

Paddle Logger's Race Mode makes it easier than ever to enter virtual events, and is ideal for training. To turn it on, tap on Race in the top left-hand corner of the main Paddle screen.

Tapping on this will bring up a roller for you to choose your virtual race distance.

That's all you need to set up, however we would recommend setting a Countdown to mimic racing conditions as best as possible and give you the best possible chance of a good time!

Paddling With Race Mode On

Once Race Mode is on, head to the water and get ready as normal. When you are ready to race tap GO and wait for the beep.

When you hear the beep, start paddling! Racing is underway - you will hear a second one at the halfway mark which is useful if you have to make a buoy turn back to the start! Finally, you will hear a third beep when you cross the virtual finish line - meaning you can relax! You don't need to press anything or interact with your device, we have stopped recording your race time and you can enjoy your cool down.

When you get back to shore you simply end your session as normal.

The session details screen will show your total session distance and timer, as usual. However you will notice a Race Section of the Session Details Screen. Here will be your distance, the time you got and an option to export just the race .GPX file ready to upload to the virtual event of your choosing!

*Race Mode is available with a Paddle Logger Subscription
