race|result Timing System

We utilize the highest quality chip timing equipment from race|result in all of our events. We can offer systems that provide a “green” returnable chip or a disposable timing chip attached to the race number. Our timing teams have the experience and necessary skills to make sure even the most complicated event timing situations run smoothly.

Our chip timing services include:

• Digital finish line clock display
• Starting horn/pistol
• Finish line structure
• Data entry of all race day entrants
• Awards and results available instantaneously as participants cross the finish
• Customized and detailed reports
• LIVE, online results

Additional Timing Services Include:

• Onsite live results display – Shown on large screen at finish
• Athlete photography
• Announcer line – Allows the announcer to identify participants as they cross a timing point. Information such as name, city, age, interesting facts, etc. will be seen instantaneously.
• Split Points – Can be set anywhere along the course to capture timing data. For example, capturing the 5k split time of a 10k course or the half-marathon split time of a marathon

We can help you create the perfect event or revitalize a “classic” race. We have years in the racing industry designing, planning, and executing road races tailored specifically to meet the needs of the hosting organization – and the runners they wish to attract. Whether you want to start a 5K or a Marathon, raise funds for a non-profit, or take your event to the next level; Timer Guys can help you along the road to a great race.

Because every race and organization is different and has different needs, we tailor all of our services to that specific event so as to provide it with the best services possible to meet its individual needs.

Our directing services can include:

• Onsite guidance by one of our race directors on race day
• Event consulting

By using Timer Guys for your race directing needs, we help to take care of the logistics of the run which allows you to focus on gaining sponsors, volunteers, and participants. Organizing races is what we do. Let us save you countless hours and headaches by taking this portion off your plate.

Need advice but don’t need us to direct the event? We can help walk you through any event related details and logistics all at a simple flat fee of $75 per hour.

Our team is certified to accurately measure courses under the precise guidelines set forth by USA Track and Field and the Road Running Technical Council. This allows you to be certain that the distance that your runners travel is the exact distance that you want. Other methods of measuring a course such as online mapping, GPS devices, or car odometers, can cause the true race distance to be off by up to 200 meters for a 5K. This can be a big difference for anyone wanting to run for a personal best time. State and national records and honor roll times are only accepted on certified courses, as it is the standard that allows race times to be compared to each other. A course certification is also valid for 10 years from when it is submitted, so long as there are no changes to the road or course. You can rest assured that your course will be measured to the same standard as many of the most prestigious races in the country.

Once certified, you will be able to publish and use the USATF Certified Course logo in conjunction with its assigned course number on any promotional materials and websites. This helps to give credibility to your race and assures runners that you are serious about the event and care about the accuracy of their times.

Online race registration can take away all your registration fears; no paper forms, filing systems or collecting money. RunSignUp.com is a seamless online registration system that creates professional customized registration site for your event and allows you to collect donations, enter paper registrations, and assign bib numbers on the site itself. The small processing charge is part of the registration process and paid during registration by the participant

We can make online registration simple and understandable by creating your registration page through RunSignUp.com. Funds can be collected and mailed, or directly deposited to your bank account through RunSignUp. Participant data is stored online and many useful embeddable widgets exist for your own site such as registration, participant look-up, and volunteer signup. You can set up promo codes, teams, and so much more. We will walk you through the site and make sure you are fully familiar with the capabilities. This helps to make the registration process easy and effective.

Our race photographers can capture your event from the pre-race activities, the race start, finishers, award ceremony, and more.
No race is too big or small! We would love to be at your next event helping to celebrate all of your runners’ accomplishments.
