Race timing in Nouvelle-Aquitaine

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, the shoe or the bike are automatically detected on the ground as athletes pass. In practice, this system relies on timing mats equipped with RFID antennas, placed on the ground at the start line, finish line and intermediate split points: each chip emits a unique frequency captured down to the thousandth of a second, ensuring rankings with impeccable accuracy. It’s also thanks to it that we distinguish official time (calculated from the starting signal) from real time, which only starts when you cross the line—very handy when you start at the back of the pack!

Concretely, what does that look like?

Managing so many distances, rankings and split points requires competent partners capable of handling everything. Nouvelle-Aquitaine offers a great example of this. The Marathon du Médoc plays a part like no other in the world 🍷: a 42.195 km marathon where the stopwatch fades behind 23 tastings of great vintages, costumes and the avenues of the prestigious châteaux of Pauillac, Saint-Julien and Saint-Estèphe. The 24h de l'Ardanavy goes even further ⏱️, with an ultra-endurance challenge: 12 starts every 2 hours on a 7.5 km loop—up to 90 km to swallow day and night, in the spirit of firefighters, along the river in the heart of the Basque Country. As for the NeuroRun in Limoges and the one in Bordeaux, they bring runners together over 5.5 km and 11 km like all the other stages of the franchise, from Paris to Lyon via Nantes, Toulouse and Rennes 🧠, in support of research against neurodegenerative diseases. These events trust us to manage their registrations. It’s this reliability that reassures organizers and secures every result, race after race 💪.
