scanme.run turns a parkrun athlete ID into a phone or watch pass, with event-based lock-screen prompts and options for other phones.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-25 issue.

For: parkrun participants using phones or watches
Worth noticing: It supports up to 10 selected events, optional emergency details, and a QR-code option for scanners that struggle with the usual barcode.

Field notes

The form accepts an athlete ID or parkrun profile link, then lets users choose events by location or search. Pass customization includes several themes, optional labels and emojis, and optional emergency details; a QR-code setting is provided for iPhone scanners that struggle with the classic barcode. The site says those details are deleted within 15 minutes and that location remains on the device.
