Why TimingHQ

Everything your race needs — timing first.

MyLaps chip timing

Industry-standard hardware, accurate to the hundredth, with results you can stand behind.

Live results

Runners and sponsors follow along and share as finishers come in.

Registration, handled

We set up your registration on the platform that fits your event, not ours.

Course design & measurement

Safe, accurate courses built for your route, your permits, and your runners.

Event Essentials

Bibs, medals and apparel — sourced, produced and delivered on time.

Race-day crew on site

Our team runs the start, the finish and everything in between. You don't staff it, we do.

Inside race day

This is what proven execution looks like.

01

Chip timing

Every finish, captured.

We time with MyLaps BibTag — the UHF system used at four of the Abbott World Marathon Majors. Mats at the start, finish and any split point capture every runner to the hundredth.

  • Disposable tags on the bib — no chip collection at the finish
  • Multiple starts, splits and distances timed in a single event
  • Net and gun times for every finisher
02

Live results

Every finisher gets their time — and something to share.

Finishers, splits and age-group standings post to a branded, searchable results page as runners come in — with a digital finisher's certificate for every participant.

  • Results post live as runners cross the line
  • Shareable finish certificate for every finisher
  • Live Tracking available as an add-on — friends and family follow runners along the course
03

Event Essentials

The part runners take home.

Race bibs, finisher medals and custom event apparel — designed, produced and delivered, with one approval process instead of a chain of vendors.

  • Custom medals, bibs and apparel
  • Design, production and delivery managed end to end
  • One approval process, no vendor chasing
04

Race-day crew

You don't run the day. We do.

Our crew sets the course, works the start and finish, and breaks it all down after — with the equipment included, so you're not sourcing any of it.

  • Trained crew at start, course and finish
  • Course design and measurement
  • Setup, teardown and equipment included

What directors say

Trusted by the people who run the race.

One of the key partners behind the success of the Binational Race. Organizing a cross-border event is incredibly complex, but their expertise made every edition run smoothly.
Valeria Rivera
Binational Race
Mike is always responsive, organized, and incredibly professional. He brings a calm, confident presence that makes race day run smoothly — and genuinely cares about every participant.
Jogging for Frogmen
San Diego
Professional, super easy to work with, and took some serious stress off our plate. Will be working with them again for sure.

FAQ

Questions directors ask before they book.

Do I even need a timing company for my event?

It depends on your goals. For a casual neighborhood fun run, a stopwatch and a volunteer might do. But most directors tell us the same thing after their first properly-timed event: participants notice, and they come back. Accurate results — even for a small charity 5K — add legitimacy and excitement, and they free you from recording 200 finishers by hand while juggling volunteers and sponsors. We'll help you figure out what level of support actually makes sense for your event. And if we think you don't need us, we'll tell you that.

How does your pricing compare to other timers?

Our pricing reflects what's behind the service: world-class timing technology, an experienced team on site race morning, and 500+ events of hands-on know-how. We also bring real guidance on marketing, logistics and planning — because we genuinely want your event to succeed, not just to get timed. A lower quote often means fewer of those things — and on race day, the difference shows. Tell us what your event needs and we'll send a clear, itemized quote so you can see exactly what's included and compare fairly.

Can you handle my whole event, or just the timing?

Both. Take the full package or just the pieces you need. Plenty of clients bring us in for chip timing only — that's completely fine. Others hand us the whole thing: permits, medals, apparel, finish arch, tents, tables, chairs and race-day crew. You pick the level of support, we handle the rest.

What exactly can you provide beyond timing?

Course design and measurement, chip timing and live results, bibs, medals and custom apparel, and full race-day staffing. We can also supply the physical setup — finish arches, tents, tables, chairs and more — so you're not renting from separate vendors. If it's part of race day, ask us.

Which registration platform do you use?

Whichever one fits your event best. We're not tied to any single registration company — we set you up on the platform that makes the most sense for your race and your budget, not one we're paid to push.

Do you time events across the U.S., Mexico and England?

Yes. We're based in San Diego and run events across the U.S. and Mexico regularly, and we've timed internationally too, including in England. Cross-border logistics that stop other timers aren't a problem for us — it's one of the few things that sets us apart.

What size events do you work with?

Everything from small local 5Ks and conference runs to half marathons with thousands of runners — and up to national championship events. Every event gets the same care whether there are 50 finishers or 5,000. World-class timing technology scales to any field size, and we build the right crew and equipment around your event.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend locking in your date 6–9 months out, especially for spring and fall race seasons, since those fill up fast. That said, if you're on a tighter timeline, reach out anyway — we do our best to accommodate and we'll always be upfront about availability. The sooner we talk, the more we can plan.
