1 to 3
distances
A short race to open it up to as many people as possible, a longer one for regulars. Each distance has its own cap, price and results.
Organizers
Organizing a running race, from registration to the podium
One distance or three, two hundred runners or a thousand. Registration, race timing and results fit in the same tool.
A race comes together around three lists that have to stay accurate until the start. The registered runners, the bibs and the results. When all three run through Chrono Corner, every runner gets a QR code at registration, their chip is paired with their bib at pickup, and their time lands in the results the moment they cross the line. On race day, you are out on the course with your volunteers instead of behind a computer.
The first choices
1 start
or waves
A mass start is enough for a small race. Beyond that, staggered waves ease the line, and every runner keeps a chip time on top of the gun time.
1 line
for start and finish
The race timing price covers one line. A checkpoint adds a second system at €384, a second finish is priced on quote.
Categories
age groups and teams
Age groups are worked out from the date of birth. Team or corporate results can be added on top.
None of this is mandatory. These are the questions that shape the rest of the organization.
What the race costs
There is no subscription and no setup fee. Ticketing is paid on entries sold, race timing per weekend and per registered runner.
Ticketing
1% + €1
Per paid entry, paid by the runner at checkout by default. Nothing on free entries. You collect your entry fee, minus Stripe fees, straight into your Stripe account.
Race timing
€478 + €1.28 per runner
For the weekend, timing mat and shipping included, then €1.28 per registered runner. The chip sticks to the back of the bib and runners keep it.
For a race at €15 an entry with 200 runners, each runner pays €16.15 and you collect €3,000 before Stripe fees. Race timing for those 200 runners comes to €734.
Volunteers around the course
Race timing needs nobody at the line. Your volunteers focus on welcoming runners and keeping the course safe.
At bib pickup
One or two volunteers scan each runner's QR code and hand over the bib, already paired with its chip. You see live who has arrived and who is missing.
On the course
Marshals at crossings, aid stations and sweepers, depending on the course and on what the local authorities require. They sign up online for the shifts you open.
A typical race morning
- 7 am
Bib pickup
Each runner shows their QR code and leaves with their bib, the chip already on the back. Race day entries are added from a phone.
- 8 am
Timing mat setup
The timing mat goes down on the line in minutes and connects to your race from a web browser.
- 9 am
Start
A mass start or waves. Gun time runs from the signal, each runner's chip time from their own crossing of the line.
- 10 am
First finishers
Every crossing goes straight to the results, on the screen at the start village and on runners' phones.
- 11 am
Awards
Results by distance, age group and team are already worked out. The results page stays online and is easy to share.
What matters on race day
One single list of runners
A file copied between several people ends up showing two different lists. An online list stays the same for everyone, right up to the start.
Last minute dropouts
A freed spot goes to the next runner on the waitlist through a time limited invite, without you chasing anyone.
Check in at bib pickup
Scanning the QR code sorts things out before the start. You know who is on the line, which matters for safety too.
Results published fast
Online results can be checked, shared and verified without you. They are what fills next year's edition.
The license or the PPS
For a race on the French athletics federation calendar, every runner shows a license or a PPS less than a year old. Registration asks for the number, the date and a ticked attestation, never the health questionnaire.
Payments with a paper trail
An online payment leaves a receipt, for your books and for the runner who asks for a refund.
Frequently asked questions
-
Two hundred runners means two hundred entries, two hundred bibs and two hundred times to rank by category. A spreadsheet copes as long as nothing changes. With dropouts, race day entries and age groups, one tool for everything saves the re entry.
-
Ticketing costs nothing on a free entry. Only race timing is paid, per weekend and per registered runner.
-
Yes. You add a runner by hand on the day, from your phone, and they get a bib like everyone else. These entries are flagged as manual, so your online sales tracking stays accurate.
-
Yes. The captain registers the team, each teammate can pay their share from their phone, and team results are worked out on their own.
-
After the race, results export to a spreadsheet with full dates of birth, the format the French athletics federation asks for on races in its calendar. You then send them to the federation, or we prepare them with you.
-
Yes. You create the new edition with its dates and bring your distances back into it. Last year's results stay online at their address, which is what runners find when they look up your race.
