Timing hire
RFID race timing hire in New Zealand
Rent a complete chip timing kit for your event, or buy one for your gym or race series. Every kit is set up for your course and comes with a live results portal.
What's in a hire kit
- Floor timing mats for the start, finish and zone lines. They lie flat on gym floors, turf or tarmac.
- Side aerials on tripods for anywhere a mat doesn't suit, such as sled lanes, narrow entries and outdoor chutes.
- 4-port readers that capture every crossing and pass it to the timing software.
- Numbered, reusable chips on soft ankle or wrist straps. Each chip's number is printed on the case and coded into the chip.
- Timing software that matches reads to athletes, applies your course rules and works out every split.
- The race portal, with live leaderboards, athlete pages and results.

FAQ
Questions
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can. Kits are booked by date, so tell us your date in the enquiry form and we'll confirm availability.
Can we use our own registration system?
Yes. Send us your athlete list (a CSV works) and we load it into timing. If you don't have one, we can run registration and payments for you at $1.95 per entry plus card fees.
Do we need to be timing experts?
No. Kits arrive set up for your course with a setup guide, and remote support is included on race day.
Can we time individual stations?
Yes. The base kit times the start, finish and workout zone. Add a timing point at any station for individual station and transition times.
