The parkrun Virtual Volunteer is a free official timer and scanner application for parkrun events, developed by parkrun Global. It is available for Android users to download and use at any parkrun event. This app is designed to make timing and scanning at parkrun events easy, accurate and efficient.

The app features a user-friendly interface with a big, easy-to-press button for the timer and a scanner that reads printed barcodes quickly and easily. The timer comes with an audible beep for each time recorded and a scrollable list of times, while the scanner features an audible beep and/or vibrate alert on successful scan and a scrollable list of scanned parkrunners.

The scanner and timer files can be easily exported via email to the event's email address for processing. However, before using the app at an event, it is recommended to speak to the Run Director on the day. The scanner and timer data can also be submitted directly to parkrun using a QR code supplied by the Run Director on the day.

Overall, the parkrun Virtual Volunteer app is an excellent tool for volunteers at parkrun events. It is simple, easy to use and accurate, making timing and scanning a breeze.
