Two times per runner
Five hundred runners starting together each get their gun time and their chip time, from the signal or from their own crossing.
Chip race timing
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.
€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.
Bookable online at least two months before the race. Nothing to collect at the finish, no deposit and no lost chips, the bib goes home with the runner.
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.
On a trail race, hundreds of runners start together and cross the start line at different moments. Each of them gets a gun time, counted from the signal, and a chip time, counted from their own crossing. A second system set up at a checkpoint confirms nobody cut the course and shows who has not reached the aid station yet.
What you get
Checkpoint control
The second system validates a mandatory checkpoint and settles any dispute about a shortcut.
Several distances on the same day
The short, the medium and the long course share the same setup and come out as separate results.
Safety
You see live who has passed and who has not, a valuable way to track runners on a long course.
Results as runners finish
Runners see their time on their phone right after the line, and the page stays online all year.
