Timing & Event Services

From a box of safety pins
to a fully produced event.

We've timed thousands of runners across the finish line. Yours could be next. Any distance, any size, any registration platform — and a team that actually runs the races we time.

Services

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Chip Timing

ChronoTrack RFID timing — the industry standard. Disposable bib chips, reusable shoe chips, or both. Net times, gun times, splits, age groups, team scoring — all handled.

Live Results

Real-time results posted as runners cross the mat. Web dashboard, SMS alerts for family and crew, and push-to-social integrations. Runners see their time before they're back at their car.

Custom Bibs

Full-color bib printing with your event logo, sponsors, and runner-specific info (name, distance, corral). Waterproof, tear-resistant, RFID-embedded.

Registration Support

We work with every major platform — UltraSignup, RunSignUp, RaceRoster, OpenSplitTime, and more. You pick what fits your event; we handle the data pipeline.

Rentals & Consulting

Mats, readers, arches, clocks — for rent if you'd rather run your own timing. Consulting on course setup, permitting, insurance, safety — whatever you're stuck on.

Full Production

Need the whole thing? We plan, permit, staff, run, and close out events from 50 to 10,000 runners. Sponsorship support included — you focus on your cause, we handle the race.

Custom Solutions

Want to make your race stand out?

Let us build you a custom results page, live tracker, or runner portal. Designed for your race. Branded for your sponsors. Engineered by people who write software when they're not out timing events.

We've built our own timing stack, companion apps, and live dashboards from the ground up for Happily Running events. That same infrastructure is available to yours.

Branded Live Results Page

Your logo, your sponsors, your colors. Real-time splits and finisher updates on a URL you own — not buried inside a generic timing portal. Crew and family can actually find their runner.

Live Runner Tracking

Show progress along the course as splits come in — with predicted finish times, pace trends, and alerts when a runner is behind expected pace. Great for point-to-point races and ultras where crews need to plan aid station windows.

SMS & Push Notifications

Crew, family, and friends subscribe to specific runners and get a text every time they hit an aid station. Runner-safety check-ins for longer distances. Optional race-wide broadcast for course changes or weather alerts.

Lifetime Stats & Series Tracking

Cumulative mileage across every year a runner has completed your race. Buckle progress, loop counts, series standings. Gives returning runners a reason to keep coming back — and bragging rights on social.

Race-Day Dashboards

Internal ops view for you and your captains: live leaderboard, cut-off warnings, runners-on-course count per aid station, DNF tracking. Know exactly what's happening without needing to ask.

Finisher Certificates & Shareables

Auto-generated finisher cards on finish — personalized with name, time, distance, your race branding. One-tap share to Instagram/Facebook. Your race shows up on runners' feeds without them doing extra work.

Custom Integrations

SPOT trackers, drone feeds, broadcast overlays, sponsor activations, timing-to-POS integrations for on-course food vendors — if you can dream it, we've probably built something like it or know how to.

Have an idea we didn't list? Tell us what you're picturing and we'll tell you whether we can build it — usually yes, sometimes at a surprising price.

Experience

Runner-built. Finish-line proven.

We've been on both sides of the timing mat — as race directors, as timers, as runners. That's why the live results come up fast and accurate, the bibs don't peel off in the rain, and the volunteers know what to shout when someone crosses.

When you hire us, you're not hiring a call center with a laptop. You're hiring the people standing at your finish line at 2 AM making sure every last runner gets their time.
