Switchback: Offline Race Guide
Runner, pacer & crew planner
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Your ultra's race manual is a 30-page PDF you skimmed once and can't search at mile 60 at 2 AM. Switchback turns it into a field guide on your phone: the aid stations, cutoffs, pacer and crew rules and driving directions you actually need, laid out so you can take them in at a glance. And it keeps working when the signal disappears.
Guides are built race by race and checked against each race's official information. Find a race shows what's ready. Don't see yours? Tap Request guide and we'll move it up the list.
One guide for the whole team
- Runners: know every aid station, cutoff and climb, and build a pace plan
- Pacers: where you join, the pacer rules, and your runner's notes on what they need from you
- Crew: a driving plan with every stop you can reach, in order, with estimated drive times
- Runner view for planning; Crew view for everyone supporting, pacers included
The race manual, made easy to absorb
- Every aid station with mileage, cutoff time, crew access, pacer, drop-bag and medical flags
- An elevation profile of the whole course with crew stops marked
- Race rules distilled: pacer limits, crew rules, packet pickup, start details
- Important race updates shown at the top: cancellations, course changes and new rules are flagged as soon as the guide is updated
Plan your pace
- Enter a goal time and see a target arrival time and cutoff cushion at every aid station
- Mark real arrivals and the plan re-projects from your actual pace
- Per-station packing lists and notes for the runner, and private notes for the crew
Share with your pacer and crew
- Send your plan to your pacer and crew with a QR code or a link. No account needed.
Built for the field
- Works fully offline after your first load. Open a race once on wifi.
- One-tap directions to every crew stop in Apple Maps or Google Maps (download offline maps for the area before race day)
- Large tap targets and a clean, high-contrast design for daylight and night
Switchback has no accounts and no ads.

Updated App Store listing with a new name and refreshed screenshots. Switchback works with zero signal, so your race guide is there when the cell service isn't.
