Gun time and chip time
Gun time runs from the signal, chip time from each runner crossing the line. A runner who started at the back of the corral knows their real performance.
Chip race timing

For road races, trail, canicross and backyard ultras, and also for HYROX® style races. Professional RACE RESULT equipment at a low price, registration and live results, with a single point of contact.
Road races, trail and canicross
A timing mat on the ground at the line and a chip stuck to the back of every bib. Runners keep it, so there is nothing to collect at the finish.
- Gun time and chip time for every runner
- Results by distance, by age group and by team
- Results online as runners finish, on the big screen and on their phones
€478 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. Ticketing costs 1% + €1 per paid entry.
Where the gear ships The listed price covers France, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Germany. For a race anywhere else, write to us and we will price the shipping.
Our system runs on professional RACE RESULT equipment, the same gear used at major races, offered at a price small and mid-sized races can afford. A timing mat on the ground, a chip per runner, and every crossing is recorded. Every runner gets two times, gun time, counted from the start signal, and chip time, counted from their own crossing of the start line. Results are published the moment runners finish, on the big screen and on everyone's phone.
What you get
Split points
A second system controls a checkpoint. Useful to validate a course and spot a runner who dropped out.
Live results
Results go up on their own on the big screen, the TV at the start village and runners' phones.
Bibs sold in the same place

Professional equipment at a low price
The RACE RESULT equipment used at major races, bookable online at its public price. A chip on the back of the bib for running, on the ankle for hybrid races.
How it works
-
You book online
At least two months before the race. Below that, the request still goes through and we confirm within 48 hours if the gear is available.
-
The gear arrives
It reaches you before the weekend, chips and timing mat ready to set up.
-
Race day
The timing mat goes down in minutes. Chips go out with the bibs at pickup and the results fill in on their own.
-
You ship it back
The gear ships back on Monday. Results stay online, easy to find by your race name.
Timed race formats
- Road race timing, from the 5K to the half marathon 5K and 10K, half marathons, corporate and charity runs. Gun time and chip time, results as runners finish and a page that stays online.
- Trail race timing, from the mass start to the checkpoints A mass start, several distances, an aid station to check. The system does the work, you run the race.
- Canicross, bikejoring, run and bike One by one starts every thirty seconds, classes to keep apart. Every competitor is timed from their own start.
- The backyard ultra, one loop an hour until the last one standing One loop every hour, for hours and sometimes days. Lap counting takes care of itself.
- How much does chip race timing cost Professional RACE RESULT equipment at an affordable price, by the weekend, with no subscription and bookable online. You know what you pay before you book.
- What happens between the line and the results The idea comes down to three parts, a chip, a timing mat and software, on professional RACE RESULT equipment. Here is how they work together.

-
Yes. Race timing comes with our registration, never on its own, because that is what pairs the start list with the chips without any re entry. For now, that registration runs through throwdown.live, the platform of the same company. The weekend costs €478 for running, and €622 for a HYROX® style race or simulation.
-
With professional RACE RESULT equipment, the same gear used at major races. A timing mat on the ground and passive chips stuck to the back of the bib for running, an active system with an ankle chip for hybrid races. The price is public and race timing is booked online, so small and mid-sized races get access to this equipment at an affordable price.
-
For running, one per registered runner, stuck to the back of their bib, at €1.28. For hybrid races, one per participant on the course at the same time, reused from one wave to the next. Forty are included, extra ones cost €3.60 each.
-
For running nothing, runners keep their chip. For hybrid races, each transponder carries a €72 replacement value, billed only if it does not come back or comes back damaged.
