Sprint controls for every platform
Table
Every timed event depends on sprinting, so getting comfortable with your platform's controls makes an immediate difference. The goal is consistent, rapid input — rhythm matters as much as raw speed.
| PC | alternate Q and E as fast as you can |
| Mobile | tap the screen rapidly with both thumbs |
| Controller | hammer L1 and R1 alternately |
Event types and where to start
Tips
The game splits into two broad families: straight-line speed events and events that layer technique on top of sprinting.
- The 60 m and 100 m dashes are the easiest events to learn — short, straightforward, and quick to retry.
- Hurdle events (55 m through 400 m) add a jump-timing layer on top of your sprint rhythm.
- Middle-distance runs from 800 m to 1600 m reward steady, unbroken input over a longer stretch.
- Jump events like the high jump and long jump are decided mainly by timing your takeoff at the right spot.
- Relay events — 4x100 m, 4x200 m, and 4x400 m — require friends and a clean baton handoff.
- Both outdoor and indoor events are available, each with its own course layout.
Perfecting your sprint rhythm
Step
Raw button-mashing speed is less important than keeping a steady pace all the way through. Losing your rhythm mid-race is the single biggest source of lost time.
- Find your rhythm aim for a steady, repeatable beat rather than frantic bursts followed by pauses.
- Cover the whole course keep the input going from the starting gun to the finish line without dropping off.
- Mobile tip use both thumbs alternating to hold a more stable tempo than tapping with one hand.
- Compare with friends running the same event alongside someone lets you spot exactly where your pace dips.
Relay teamwork
CheckRelay events put four players in sequence, each responsible for one leg of the race. Dropping the baton or stumbling at the exchange point costs the whole team time.
- Confirm the handoff position with your teammates before the event starts.
- Sprint your own leg at full effort a strong split makes the next runner's job easier.
- Practice the exchange more than once with the same group to tighten the timing.

Warn
Before assuming you have hit your ceiling, go through this short list. Each point targets a specific habit that quietly drains seconds from your times.
Playing with friends
Tips
The game is built around head-to-head competition, and having a live opponent makes the sprint controls feel much more urgent than racing alone.
- Jump into the same event as a friend to get an instant side-by-side time comparison.
- Use a private server to access events like the 1600 m run that are not available in public lobbies.
- Team up for relay events — they are designed specifically for a group of friends working together.

Common questions
FAQCan I enjoy the game without spending real money?
Yes — in-game currency comes from competing in events, and everything in the shop is cosmetic. Nothing behind a purchase makes your character faster, so there is no pressure to spend.
Which event should I try first?
Start with the 60 m or 100 m dash. The distance is short, retries are fast, and the only skill you need is a steady sprint rhythm — which is the foundation for every other event anyway.
How do I get better at relay handoffs?
Check the handoff position before the race starts, then run your own leg at full effort so the next runner receives a clean pass. Running the same relay multiple times with the same friends tightens everyone's timing noticeably.
