Race timing in Lille

It’s the question we all ask ourselves: how long does each participant take to complete their race? 🤔 That’s the whole point of timing, which measures the time from start to finish to establish the rankings. Long done with a stopwatch in hand, it is now electronic ⏱️. Chips attached to the bib, shoe, or bike are automatically detected on the ground as athletes pass. In practical terms, this system relies on timing mats equipped with RFID antennas, laid on the ground at the start and finish lines and at intermediate checkpoints: each chip emits a unique frequency captured to the nearest thousandth of a second, ensuring rankings of impeccable accuracy. It’s also thanks to this that we distinguish official time (calculated from the start signal) from net time, which only starts when you cross the line—very handy when you start at the back of the pack!

In practical terms, what does this look like?

The Flo'WeRun, meanwhile, plays the card of a solidarity tribute 💛, with a 3 km, a 5 km, or a 10 km course laid out around the moats and star-shaped ramparts of the Vauban Citadel, with proceeds donated to the association Cœur des Mamans Priorité Prévention.
