Waves every five minutes
As many starts as you need, each timed at its own line. The obstacles never jam.
Chip timing
Obstacle racing, in waves and without bottlenecks
Starts every few minutes, penalties to fold in, multiple categories. The timing keeps up.
Where we travel The published price covers France, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Germany, where booking happens online. For an event anywhere else, write to us, we price the transport and we come.
An obstacle race starts in tight waves to keep the modules clear. That makes gun time useless and net time essential. Every entrant is timed from their own start, and elite, open and beginner categories come out as separate leaderboards without any reprocessing.
What you get
Separate categories
Elite, open, beginner, teams. One crossing, several leaderboards, no manual sorting.
Penalties folded in
Penalty time adds to net time and the leaderboard recalculates immediately.
A crowd that stays
The leaderboard shows live on the big screen while waves keep rolling out.
Bibs and registrations
Sell your places on Throwdown and find every entrant already paired to a transponder at check in.
-
They are velcro units worn at the ankle, built for water, mud and impact. That is their normal use.
-
Each team member carries a transponder and the leaderboard keeps the last finisher time, which is the usual rule.
-
Yes, with a second sensor in front of it, for a dedicated section leaderboard.
-
They simply never cross the finish sensor and leave the standings, with no intervention.
Other timed disciplines
- How much does chip timing cost One price for the weekend, not a subscription. You know what you pay before you book.
- Time a trail without staying up all night A mass start, several distances, an aid station to control. The sensor does the work, you run the race.
- The backyard, the format that breaks every stopwatch One loop an hour, for days on end. The one format where counting laps by hand is impossible.
- Ten k, half marathon, corporate run The most classic format, with the same demands as the rest. Net time, instant results, a page that stays online.
- Canicross, bikejoring, run and bike Starts one by one every thirty seconds, harness categories to separate. A textbook case for net time.
- What happens between the line and the leaderboard The principle comes down to three parts, a transponder, an antenna and software. Here is how they work together.
