DIY Timing Kit
Looking for a low cost solution for timing? You can rent a DIY Timing Kit from us and time your own event with just a few extra volunteers.
Kit Arrival
Our simple timing solution for race directors is full of personality! We take great care to ensure that you get everything you need to time a small 5K or 10K for your club, school, or charity.
We will ship out the kit the week of you event. Take the time to unpack the kit. Take note of everything in the kit and familiarize yourself with the equipment. Preparation is the key to a successful event!
Assemble the Finish Chute
The DIY timing kit comes with rope and PVC stanchions to create a finish chute. Assemble the stanchions and string the rope through them. You will want to set it up to funnel the runners down to a single file line.
Charge up and power on the timing equipment
Make sure to power on all the equipment prior to the event to make sure everything is working properly. Sometimes items are damaged in shipping.

Be sure to read through the instructions and familiarize yourself with the results forms. Remember, preparation is the key to a successful event!
