Monster Timing
Running race timing in Ireland

Passive chip timing built for running events at scale.

Disposable timing chips attach to the back of each race bib and are read at timing mats. A practical timing setup for mass-participation road and trail races, from 5K to marathon.

Passive running timing

Every runner. One simple bib-based setup.

We plan timing mats and results around your start, finish, course, and expected field size.

Disposable passive timing chips on race bibs

Each runner wears a disposable passive timing chip attached to the back of their race bib. Timing mats at the start, finish, and planned split points read the chip as runners cross.

  • Chip supplied with the race bib
  • No separate active transponder to collect
  • Reads at configured timing points

Designed for mass-participation running

Passive bib-chip timing is well suited to large fields and high-throughput running events. It provides an efficient way to record participants moving across a start or finish line and through planned checkpoints.

  • 5K, 10K, half-marathon, and marathon events
  • Road and trail races
  • Club, charity, and mass-participation events

Results that fit the race

We configure the timing points and results around your course and event format, with finish times and agreed split data available to organisers and runners.

  • Start and finish capture
  • Intermediate splits where timing points are installed
  • Online results and race-day support
