Timing solution for race organizers in Angers

Ah Angers, capital of Anjou, in Maine-et-Loire: the gentle Angevin way of life, the banks of the Maine, vineyards and castles—there’s something for everyone. Looking for reliable timing in Angers? 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, shoe, or bike are automatically detected on the ground as athletes pass. In concrete terms, 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, ensuring rankings with impeccable precision. It’s also thanks to this that we distinguish official time (calculated from the start signal) from real time, which only begins the moment you cross the line—very handy when you start at the back of the pack!

So, what does it look like in practice?
