How to Use EZ Scan™ to Streamline Your School Fun Run

The Smart, Simple Way to Track Every Lap

Planning a fun run for 100 ... 200 ... 500+ kids? Amazing! But counting all those laps by hand? Not so fun. That's where EZ Scan comes in - Fitness Finders digital lap tracking tool that makes fun runs smooth, accurate, and stress-free.

Whether you're running a single class or the whole school, EZ Scan helps you track student progress in real time - no clipboards, no chaos.



What is EZ Scan?

EZ Scan is a QR Code-based lap tracking system built specifically for schools. Each student gets a unique code on a card or badge, and every time they complete a lap, a teacher or volunteer simply scans the code using a mobile device or tablet.

It's that easy.

How to Set Up EZ Scan for a Fun Run

1. Sign Up & Create Your Event

Log into your EZ Scan dashboard and set up your school fun run event.

2. Add Students

Upload a student list (name, grade, class) and generate QR codes.

3. Print QR Cards

Print and laminate cards with each student's code - lanyards or shoelaces work great!

4. Set Up Scan Stations

Assign volunteers with phones/tablets to scan students at the end of each lap.

5. Track in Real Time

Laps are instantly recorded and stored. Teachers can view results by student, class, or school.

Bonus: Export the data to spreadsheets or use it to award prizes based on performance.

Why Use EZ Scan for a Fun Run?

  • Eliminates manual counting errors
  • Saves time for teachers and volunteers
  • Provides real-time tracking of laps
  • Easily integrates with Mileage Club and Toe Tokens rewards

No more "Did Jamie run 4 laps or 6?" - you'll have the answer in seconds.

Awarding Made Easy

With accurate lap counts, you can:
  • Award Toe Tokens by the lap or mile
  • Give medals to top finishers or most improved
  • Recognize effort and participation across all grade levels

Pro Tip: Use scan data to make an awards ceremony or display wall - students love seeing their names and progress.
