RACE RESULTS POLICIES

It is a universal standard that anyone who registers for an event and successfully completes the race appears in the results. Read more here.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GUN TIME AND NET TIME

When it comes to awards, a winner of a race is determined by who crosses the finish line first. Therefore, overall and age category results are based on Gun Time. Read more here.

CHIP TIMING

MYLAPS Sport Timing Equipment

MyLaps is considered the most reliable chip timing system with a read rate approaching 99.8%. Prestigious races like the Boston Marathon, Chicago Marathon, and Houston Marathon, now use the MyLaps Bibtag system. This system also eliminates the need and expense of collecting chips at the finish. For runners, the disposable runner's chip is a thin, lightweight antenna stuck on to the back of each participants bib. For swim, cycling, triathlon, and mud runs, the chip is embedded in a disposable lightweight foam band that goes around the athlete's ankle.

TAG PULL TIMING

Tag-pull timing is how races where timed before chip timing was invented. This timing method is ideal for smaller races were your timing budget is limited. Start and finish line banners, and runner chute equipment, is included in our bar-code scanning timing packages.

FLT RACE REGISTRATION

Finish Line Timing In-Person Race Registration Software and Equipment

FLT Race Registration is not online registration - there are already plenty of options. FLT Race Registration a stand alone program that takes the place of registration forms filled out by hand. This program is ideal for races that have pre-race expos or bib pickup where registrations are taken. Runners register on one of our laptops and then print out a race customized race registration form complete with your waiver. The participant signs the form and take it to your team to pay and collect their assigned bib. This eliminates the need to decipher poor handwriting AND having to do data entry. Contact us for details. 

ONLINE RACE REGISTRATION

We are happy to set up your online registration for no additional charge. We use GetMeRegistered.com. The fees they pass on to the runners are more reasonable, they don't fill up the registration process trying to sell your participants magazines, and their site is more user friendly, both for the participant and the race director.

This was our first year working with Finish Line Timing after using our previous timing company for the past 7 years. We were nervous moving to a new timing company as a few of our events are unique and have a few challenges for the timer. Paul put all of my worries to rest and is absolutely amazing to work with. We used Paul for 3 separate events this year; a triathlon, a stair climb, and a trail series (5k through 50k). Every single race went off without a hitch in large part to Paul and his crew. Paul does everything he can to make the race organizers job as easy as it can be. He is extremely knowledgeable and willing to help make your event the best that it can be. We will continue to use Paul for all of our races/events for the Town of Castle Rock.

I have used Finish Line Timing for the past two years, and all I can say is... WOW! Talk about professionalism, efficiency, and timeliness. Paul Vanderheiden is such a pleasure to have at our meet and truly excels at his craft. As a high school cross country coach who hosts a meet at one of the most popular tourist attractions in Colorado (the Royal Gorge Bridge), a timing system is the most important part of its success. Paul is exceptional, and guarantees that a high school meet will have the same feel as a professional race. I highly recommend and encourage other coaches to contact Paul for their running contests. They will have peace of mind knowing their event is in good hands with Finish Line Timing.
