Chip timing uses RFID (radio-frequency identification) to commuicate information between a participant and the timing equipment.

Transponders are often referred to as “chips”. These chips can be attached to the participant’s bib or worn on the wrist using a comfortable neoprene strap, or fastened to the front fork of a bike (no neoprene strap required).

We offer two timing systems that can be customized to meet the specific needs of your event.

For instance, a passive system may be more suitable for a half marathon or trail race, while an active system may be a better fit for a triathlon or adventure race. Our team can help you determine the best option based on your event requirements.

The passive system is the most widely used type of chip at mass participation events such as 5km, 10km, half marathon, and marathon road races. It is well-suited for events with a large number of participants.

The disposable chip is affixed to the participant’s bib number. Customisable bibs with attached chips can also be provided.

The active system is designed for trail races, ultramarathons, and mountain bike races, as it transmits detailed information to the timing station. It utilises a battery-powered chip that can communicate with the timing equipment.

The active chip is designed to withstand harsh weather and rough handling, and can withstand rain, mud, and snow. It is also sturdy and durable.

For running and triathlon events, the active chip is worn on the wrist or ankle using a soft neoprene band. For bike races, it is attached to the front fork of the bike.

These chips have a precision of 0.01 seconds and a maximum speed capability of 93 mph (150kmh). In store mode and tracking mode, data is transmitted to the server when at a timing station with internet access.
