Race Screen
· v1.8.1
About
Race Screen is a data field for Garmin watches that displays the most relevant information for running a race or training. It also corrects the difference between the GPS-measured distance and the actual race course distance: pressing the lap button when passing a course marker rounds the distance it displays and adjusts the average pace accordingly. If you set a race distance, it predicts your finish time. See https://racescreen.org

IMPORTANT NOTES: Race Screen is Data Field. It will not appear in the list of Apps on the watch. Instead, you need to display it as a field within an Activity, like the standard built-in Run Activity. Configure a data screen with 1 Field as the layout, select Connect IQ Fields, select Race Screen.
The distance displayed by this data field may differ from the built-in distance field. This is by design, to help the user correct the difference between the GPS-measured distance and the official course distance when running a race by triggering a manual lap when passing an official course marker. If you wish to use this field only as a way to display information nicely in a single screen, you can switch off the distance/average pace adjustment and set the race distance and target time to 0 in the app settings.
