Race timing in Strasbourg

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, the shoe, or the bike are automatically detected on the ground as participants pass. Concretely, 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 impeccable precision. It’s also thanks to it that we distinguish official time (calculated from the start signal) from real time, which only starts when you cross the line—very handy when you start at the back of the pack!

Concretely, what does that look like?

Managing so many distances, rankings, and checkpoints requires competent partners capable of taking care of everything. Strasbourg, prefecture of the Bas-Rhin, offers a great example with three flagship events. First, the NeuroRun - Strasbourg 🧠, a charity event with no timing in support of the fight against Alzheimer’s disease. Offered over 5.5 km or 11 km along the Bassin des Remparts, 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 event trusts us to manage 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.
