Racetimer

Racetimer is providing a wide range of products that are developed with state-of-the art technology available in the timing market.

Timing System: After five years of extensive research and development Racetimer has finally announced the best timing system that is using updated state-of-the art technologies available in the market. With our Timing system you can control / view / add / update the information you get from timing gate(s). By using our timing system you can get 99.9% accurate results when the runner finishes his/her race.
Timing Bars/Gates: The chips are read by readers (antennae) incorporated in gates suspended above the road. Gate height can be increased up to a maximum of 4.20 m. The gates themselves consist of sturdy, wind-proof uprights that support three-sided aluminium frames in which the readers and antennae are suspended. Gates for interim times are also among the possibilities and have a wireless connection with the finish computer. This makes it possible to present split times or speaker information when runners pass through the split gates. These gates are completely self-supporting and can be erected at any location in woodlands or moor land.
Starting Numbers: RaceTimer makes use of state-of-the-art RFID chips in the UHF range for time recording. The chip, which is only 8 cm long and 0.5 cm wide, is incorporated in the starting number. Organizers consequently save a great deal of time! Distributing and/or attaching chips to the starting number, collecting them after the race, checking lists and collecting deposits, are all a thing of the past. Things are much easier for the runners too. The actions depicted above are definitely past history.

Results Processing: The (provisional) results can be presented in real-time on the Internet if the event organizers wish to do so. Fans staying at home and other interested persons can, so to speak, view the results per finisher on the website. This can also be presented after the organizers have approved the results. Each runner can see his personal net and gross times on his personal results page, and often a video film of his/her finish within 24 hours! This unique service is highly appreciated by runners. Click here for an example As an extra option the results can be watched by the runners and the general public immediately after the finish on Racetimer LCD screens. The screens can be set up in our special media tent or, for example, in your sponsor area or behind the finish line. All the work and communications regarding the results are taken care of by Racetimer. If runners have ultimately run in different categories and this needs to be changed, or if there are omissions in the entry forms, the work involved will be done for you by Racetimer. This saves a great deal of work for the organizers after the event.
Printing Services: Organizers consequently save a great deal of time by getting rid of activities like printing, distributing and/or attaching chips to the starting numbers. Starting numbers printed with the sponsor's logos with attached chip makes your job easier.
Homepages: Racetimer can customize your website so that all results on all your races (even from stadium races) can be published live.
Notification System: Through Racetimer's notification system your club can earn more money on services that runners love. An example of services that may be included in a notification system is SMS, high-resolution video andboth simple medals and medals engraved with personal results.
SMS: Each runner can choose to receive their results (and intermediate time during the race if desired) via SMS, directly after the finish. The runner can choose from the notification system which mobile number or numbers the SMS will be sent to.
High-definition Videoclip: Runners can also download the popular high-definition video captured with better and more advanced cameras. Look at the example below and compare with the free video clip above. For every video purchased the club receives a share.
Medals: We can offer simple medals or medals engraved with the name and finishing time that the runners can order. These are sent home to the runner up to maximum 9 days after the race. Click on the thumbnail to view sample of medals we can provide.
Presentation Video: Racetimer has produced several video presentations to various events. When your club embeds all these new services with us, the cost of this presentation video will be a fraction of what it would have cost if it was produced through a traditional advertising agency
To summarize: Racetimer is specialized on both small and large events. By having Racetimer helping you adapt your website and notification system with the new services, the timing service can be up to 50% cheaper. Get in touch with us if you want to know more
Extra Services: An extra option available for event organizers is that we can supply starting numbers with pins, flyers, attached together with an address sticker in an envelope. All you have to do is post the starting number. We can arrange sponsors in association with RaceTimer for the video images, race entries and results page. In other words, you can also earn money from your results!
