Timing Options

Finish System – We will place timing mats at the finish line and capture finish times (gun times) for those participants that finish the race wearing a chip. Equipment for manual backup timing is also provided.
Start System – (Recommended for races with over 400 participants.)  We will place timing mats at the start line of the race and capture actual race start times.  This allows each participant to have a more accurate race time (net time). For those participants that start and finish the race wearing their timing chip, their time starts when they actually cross the start mat (not when the race gun starts) which is then subtracted from their finish time before results are posted.
Announcer system – For races looking to enhance the participants race experience, we can provide an additional timing system and computer to allow a DJ or volunteer to announce finishers as they finish the race.  We will set this system up before the actual finish line.  As participants cross the announcer system wearing their timing chip, their bib number, name and hometown will show on a laptop computer we provide for the DJ to announce their finish.
Timing Splits – We can provide additional timing systems to time race splits on the race course.  Most triathlons will have additional timing systems to time the end of the swim, the start and finish of the bike and the start of the run in addition to the finish.  Some marathon and half Marathon race will have an additional system at the half way mark of the race.
