To improve your participants' experience as they complete their race and seek out their final results, adding QR codes to bibs that redirect runners to the event's results page can be a great add-on for race day. Below we outline some best practices to keep in mind when adding results link QR codes to bibs.
QR URL Structure
- Understand the URL structure for your results pages and understand which part of the URL is dynamic based off of the sub-event (image below).
- The end of the URL will change based off the distance of the results page that is selected. If you are looking to include a direct link to a specific race result page, ensure that the correct URL is selected.

QR Code Designs
Some QR code generators will allow you to create your own QR code designs. If your event has a specific theme that it is following, making a unique QR code design can help elevate your branding.
