Ah, La Rochelle, in Charente-Maritime, in Nouvelle-Aquitaine: ocean, vineyards and wild islands, there's something for everyone. Looking for reliable timing in the region? 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 🤩.
It's the question we all ask: how long does each participant take to complete their race? 🤔 That's the whole point of race timing, which measures the time from start to finish to establish the rankings. For a long time done by hand with a stopwatch, it is now electronic ⏱️. Chips attached to the bib, the shoe or the bike are automatically detected on the ground as participants pass. In practice, this system relies on timing mats equipped with RFID antennas, laid on the ground at the start line, the finish line and intermediate checkpoints: each chip emits a unique frequency picked up to the thousandth of a second, guaranteeing flawlessly accurate rankings. It is also thanks to this that we can distinguish the official time (calculated from the start signal) from the real time, which only starts when you cross the line, very handy when you start at the back of the pack!
In practice, how does it work?
