Ah, Bas-Rhin: a Gothic cathedral, half-timbered houses, and the wine route—there’s something for everyone. Are you looking for reliable timing in the department? 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 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 handheld stopwatch, it is now electronic ⏱️. Chips attached to the bib, shoe, or bike are automatically detected on the ground as participants 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, ensuring rankings with impeccable accuracy. 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’re starting at the back of the pack!
So, what does it look like in practice?
More than just a postcard backdrop, Bas-Rhin, in the Grand Est region, is above all known for being a true land of effort. Swimmers, cyclists, runners, and walkers reign here. The public shows up, volunteers make the booths shake, and participants forge the department’s reputation. Finishers opens up this ecosystem to you and supports you at every step 📍. You join a platform that showcases your event to thousands of passionate athletes 🤝. Trail, triathlon, sportive cycling, road running or swimrun, the registration tool adapts to any discipline and any format 🎽. Above all, you can rely on a network of qualified partner timekeepers, chosen for their rigor and their mastery of the field. Because the job doesn’t stop at the finish line: from the design to the customization of bibs, from live tracking to broadcasting results live, and finally sending times by SMS as soon as athletes pass under the arch 📲.
Registration and timing go hand in hand, with no double entry and no approximate results. You keep a clear mind for what really matters: the experience your runners have 🙂. If you’d like to learn more about our offers and partners, you can contact us via the form below! 📨
Managing so many distances, rankings, and checkpoints requires competent partners capable of handling everything. Bas-Rhin offers a great example with NeuroRun - Strasbourg 🧠, a charitable, non-timed event supporting the fight against Alzheimer’s disease. Offered over 5.5 km or 11 km along the Remparts basin, starting from the Parc de l'Orangerie, this format open to everyone—runners and walkers alike—focuses above all on fundraising rather than performance. The organizer of this race trusts us with managing their registrations. It’s this reliability that reassures and secures every result, race after race. Thanks to our network of partner timekeepers, you benefit from a complete service.
