Road Race Chip Timing
A road race lives or dies on two things: everyone's time is right, and the awards don't take an hour. We handle both. Runners get a disposable chip on the bib, a mat at the start and finish records every crossing, and results with age-group placings are on a screen and online minutes after the last finisher. We time charity 5Ks, hometown festival runs, 10Ks and half marathons across Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma.
How a race with us goes
- 1
Book it. Date, course, expected runners, and whether you need registration help. Braden sends a quote.
- 2
Registration. We can set up online registration or import your list from whatever you're using.
- 3
Race morning. Crew arrives early, lays the start and finish mats, sets the finish clock, and hands off bibs with chips already attached.
- 4
The race. Mats read every runner at the start and finish. Chip time and gun time both record. Results post to a screen at the finish and to midwesttiming.com as runners come in.
- 5
Awards. Overall and age-group results print the moment the last runner finishes. You hand out medals on schedule.
