Remote Timing

Let's Time Together! Are you a new race director? Do you only time a race once or twice a year? Don't worry, we've got your back.

If you're still learning the ropes, or simply need a little support, we designed Remote Timing specifically for you.

How it Works

Our staff can take care of the software side of things from our office, you just need to set up and test the equipment on race morning.

For us, GoChips are now an essential race perk. The new activators are slick and the support staff are friendly, dedicated and knowledgeable. On a busy event day, they can monitor the timing system and quickly tailor its settings offsite. The best part is that our racers now get a link to instantly-populated results that they immediately share with their friends and family, with no hassle to the organizers.

Remote timing service costs $200 per race day, plus standard equipment rental fees. To get a full estimate for your event, check out our rental cost calculator or contact our sales team to book your next event.

Not all races are suitable for remote timing, depending on the complexity or size of the event some races simply require an expert on-site. Our team can help decide what will work best for you. Remote timing is only available for races using the Zone4 GoChip timing system. We cannot provide remote support for third-party timing equipment.
