Monster Timing delivers high-precision active timing for open-water swimming, triathlon, aquathlon, duathlon, and multisport events across Ireland and Northern Ireland. Pool swim timing is not offered.
Active timing gives organisers cleaner data, stronger live coverage, and more confidence when the result is close.
Active transponders emit their own signal instead of relying on a mat to power or detect them. That makes them a strong choice for close finishes and detailed split tracking.
Active timing works across open-water swim, bike, and run legs, including wet, muddy, coastal, and high-speed conditions where passive systems can be less suitable.
Track athletes through key points on the course and give families, spectators, and commentators useful progress updates while the event is running.
The right solution depends on your course, format, and budget. We can combine active and passive timing where that gives your event the best balance of accuracy, scale, and cost.
Active timing uses transponders that emit their own signal, making it suitable for high-precision finish decisions and detailed split capture.
It is particularly useful for close finishes, high-speed cycling, long courses, and events where organisers need dependable visibility through multiple checkpoints.
Yes. Waterproof active transponders can time lake, river, and sea swims, including swim exits and loop laps. Pool swim timing is not offered.
Not always. We recommend the timing approach around your course, event format, athlete numbers, accuracy needs, and budget. Active and passive systems can also be combined.
Tell us about your event and we'll build a timing plan around your course, your volunteers, and your budget. No race too small.
