Race-Watch
Race-Watch: our in-house live timing monitor, only available from Monster Timing. It checks every chip read as your race happens. At a 358-athlete HYROX race it checked 28,414 reads and flagged 129 short runs for review, with no missed reads from the timing equipment. Missed reads, wrong waves, faulty mats and unassigned chips are fixed in RACE RESULT before results are published.
Race-Watch detailsEvery timing setup is customised.
Course layout, race format, participant numbers, split points, live displays, and results delivery all shape the right solution. We plan the timing operation around your event rather than fitting it into a fixed package.
Questions organisers ask about timing.
What does race timing include?
Monster Timing can provide chip timing, start and finish capture, split times, live results, result screens, printed results, and on-site race-day support.
Do you provide timing for small events?
Yes. We work with local clubs, charity events, and larger race teams across Ireland and Northern Ireland.
How far in advance should I book timing?
Contact us as early as possible so we can confirm equipment, staffing, course setup, and your preferred results format. Shorter-notice events may also be possible depending on availability.
Can you time different race formats?
Yes. We support triathlon, running, cycling, multisport, HYROX-style events, relays, waves, and custom race formats.
Do you provide open-water swim timing?
Yes. We provide active timing for open-water swims in lakes, rivers, and the sea, including swim exits and loop laps. We do not provide pool swim timing.
