Timing solution for race organizers in Dordogne

Ah, Dordogne: castles, characterful villages, green valleys and gastronomy—there’s something for everyone. Located in the heart of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Périgord is also an incredible playground for athletes. Looking for reliable timing in Dordogne? 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 enable you to offer your participants an extraordinary experience 🤩.

It’s the question we all ask ourselves: how long does each participant take to complete their race? 🤔 That’s exactly what timing is all about: measuring the time from start to finish to establish the rankings. Long done with a handheld 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 practical terms, this system relies on timing mats equipped with RFID antennas, laid on the ground at the start line, finish line and intermediate checkpoints: each chip emits a unique frequency captured to the thousandth of a second, ensuring rankings with flawless accuracy. It’s also thanks to it 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!

So, what does that look like in practice?
