On-Line registration opens soon

24 Jan
Starting line with Its Race Time at Rails to Trails Marathon

Starting line with "Its Race Time" at Rails to Trails Marathon

On-Line registration will be up and running next week using  ”It’s Race Time”.

It’s hard to pick the right technology for a new race, but we feel we have selected a top-notch organization who has already been handling a number of Wisconsin events and hails from the midwest.

Real experience

Several Lodi residents recently participated in the Rails to Trails Half Marathon and It’s Race Time was doing the timing.  We experienced first hand the chips, start process and finish line results from this race and felt we had a good race partner.

It’s Race Time will be providing the start and finish line, chip timing and results.  Go to Run Like A Mother Half Marathon registration to sign up.

About Its Race Time from their website:

We time a diverse range of events: running races from 5K to marathon, triathlons of all distance, mountain bike races, time trials, fun runs and more.

Our primary focus is delivering the athletes in your race a first class timing experience. We have the equipment, knowledge, and experience to deliver immediate results to your athletes. If you’ve been to an event we’ve timed, you know that we are known for the speed at which we produce results.

When your athletes get home, the first thing they’ll be doing is looking for their resultsonline. We’ll have them there. What they won’t find is a text listing. Our Interactive Results allow your athletes to search, sort, see performance charts, and more! Most recently, we’ve added the ability for athletes to share their individual results on Facebook.

We provide every athlete in your race a small RFID chip. We always provide them on neoprene bands, even for running races. No need for your athletes to untie or fiddle with attaching it to their shoe. The chip allows your athlete to be timed at various points in the race, and of course at the finish line.
