Ah, Charente: Cognac vineyards, river and lush green forests—there’s something for everyone, in the heart of Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Looking for reliable timing in Charente? Here’s how Finishers can support you. As an organizer, we know this aspect is often a headache. But rest assured, you’re in the right place: our solid expertise and our network of reliable partner timekeepers will allow you to offer your participants an extraordinary experience 🤩.
This is 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 by hand, it is now electronic ⏱️. Chips attached to the bib, shoe or bike are automatically detected on the ground as you 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 checkpoints: each chip emits a unique frequency captured to the nearest thousandth of a second, guaranteeing rankings with flawless precision. It’s also thanks to this 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!
So, what does it look like in practice?
