Along with our chip timing services, we can act as consultants and assist with a wide range of things. We have seen the good, the bad and the ugly, so can help advise what works and what doesn't. Being involved with over 150 events each year, all with different challenges, enables us to draw experience from each one and share that with you. Our professional chip timing helps bring professionalism to your whole event.
Hiring a race timing company is not just about getting results. Investing in our expertise allows you to focus on other aspects of your event, such as ensuring your participants and volunteers are happy. Learning to time and producing results can be a very time consuming process, especially when things don't go to plan.
Working within the timing industry means that we build relationships with suppliers and vendors you might need to support your event. We can help with registration platforms, bib numbers, medals, t-shirts, food vendors to name a few. If you need something just ask. We can also provide things such as arches, generators, gazebos, speakers etc. along with our chip timing services.
Timing is often a crucial factor for many runners. Some individuals may choose not to participate in races that lack proper timing services. Without a race timing company, you’re essentially limited to only hosting people who are interested in fun runs. Depending on your specific event, that may be fine, but having a professional chip timing option is generally the way to make sure you have the largest potential participant pool.
Chip timing is often a thankless task as it's one of those things people just expect to work. When it goes well, all you normally get is a quiet inbox. However, when it goes wrong, people will let you know quickly and it can cause a lot of stress and work. This can damage your event reputation, so ensuring you have an expert to manage this should give you peace of mind. Our aim is to take some pressure off the race director and enhance the participant experience.
Before the race, we can help with your registration process at the event. Whether that's advising on participant flow, taking late registrations or managing bib assignment, we can assist. Make use of our dynamic registration option for a smooth and efficient check in process.
During the race we can help keep you updated on the progress of participants and any potential issues. We can provide information for announcements and live results services.
After the race we can interact with participants to share results and help with queries. We can help problem solve any issues such as bib mix ups or incorrect participant details.
For simpler and smaller events, we have DIY options involving either an APP or handheld scanners you can use yourself. You use the technology and we provide the expertise remotely with online support. If budget is an issue ask us about these options. The key factor in these being viable are the density of finishers. If your participants are well spread and split second accuracy is not essential, then this could work for you.
