The rounds were used to count either of judges or participants in open races they counted on trust itself In the latter method a " pilot Runner" was used, which ran an average velocity and the rounds were counted by judges. The other runners had only the ( relatively small ) number of lapping to count, which reduced the risk of Verzählens.

More recently, the runner transponder chips carry on the boot or in the start number with which each passage is automatically measured by an electronic counter, so that only the number of meters of the last, unfinished round must be added.
