Net time and gun time
Both are shown. The runner sees their real performance, the organiser keeps the official gun time.
Chip timing
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.
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.
On the road a runner wants two things, their net time and their position quickly. The sensor records the crossing, the leaderboard publishes as they finish and stays available afterwards. Your registrations run through Throwdown, so bibs and transponders are paired before you even reach the venue.
What you get
Age group leaderboards
Categories compute automatically from the date of birth captured at registration.
Results available straight away
No spreadsheet emailed the next day. Runners open their phone at the finish and their time is there.
A page that works all year
The leaderboard stays online and gets found in Google by your race name, season after season.
Corporate and charity
On a company or fundraising event, team scoring is set up in a few clicks.
-
The setup tracks several thousand crossings. The practical limit is transponder count, and those are rented as needed.
-
No. The transponder is a separate velcro unit, independent from the paper bib you print however you like.
-
Yes, with a second sensor at the chosen point.
-
It runs without transponders, registration only, on the same event page.
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.
- Obstacle racing, in waves and without bottlenecks Starts every few minutes, penalties to fold in, multiple categories. The timing keeps up.
- 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.
