RealTime Racing
Cost effective race timing with realtime online results.
From £50 + 40p per runner.
Intro
How does it work?
Real Time Racing is a cost effective race timing solution that uses short range RFID wrist bands to time races. Racers need to tap the wrist band against the timing box after finishing the race to record their time. We supply a timing box and wrist bands to races. The system can be used in any kind of event that requires timing, it has been used previously for running, mountain biking, skiing and open water swimming events.
We typically hire out the timing box and wrist bands so you can time the race yourself, its very easy to use and it comes with clear written instructions. We can also offer one to one tutorials and advice using Skype. If required we can also supply staff to do the timing for you.
We charge a concession rate for charity or fund raising events.
Key features
Why you should choose RTR
01
Any Race Type
The system can work with mass start or rolling start races. We can supply multiple boxes for timegate tracking on the course, such as on halfway point of a race. All timing boxes are able to upload recordings to the web in realtime.
02
Multiple race distances
The same timing box can be used for multiple race distances. For example the same time box can be used for a 10km, Half Marathon and full Marathon races each with different start times.
03
Full entrant control
Our administration page lets you adjust entrant names and categories, even after the race has taken place. You simple assign a race number to each entrant and give them the wrist band with that number, we do the rest.
04
Cost effective
Starting at £50 + 40p per runner this is the cheapest electric timing system on the market. No extra costs. Concession rates available for fund raising or charity events.
05
Live results online
Our timing boxes upload results data to the web in realtime. The data is then combined with your entrants list and produces a real time results page.
06
Sustainable
Our solution is completely reusable, after each race the timing box and wrist bands are returned to us. We clean everything and prepare it for another use. There is no throwing away of single use plastic RFID stickers/bands here!
