August 16, 2024

Moorestown, NJ – August 16, 2024/ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – RunSignup, the leading registration and technology provider for endurance events in the United States, announces significant advancements to its RaceDay Mobile Timing App, a key component of the RaceDay Real-Time technology suite. These improvements further empower timers and event organizers with versatile solutions for timing smaller or remote events and providing a reliable backup for chip-timed races.

“The RaceDay Mobile Timing App is a game-changer for event timers who need a practical, cost-effective solution for smaller events or as a robust backup for larger races,” said Bob Bickel, Founder and CEO of RunSignup. “By offering this app as part of our RaceDay Real-Time Suite of Products, we’re giving timers the ability to manage and publish data in real time, ensuring accuracy and reliability for chipped and non-chipped timed races. This app, combined with our suite of real-time tools, empowers timers to deliver a seamless experience, no matter the size or complexity of the event.”

The RaceDay Mobile Timing App now includes enhanced features designed to streamline the timing process, ensure accuracy, and provide real-time results. Key upgrades include:

• Advanced Real-Time Data Synchronization: The app now offers improved real-time synchronization capabilities, allowing for instant updates and seamless data sharing across multiple devices and locations.
• Enhanced User Interface: A redesigned interface makes the app more intuitive for easy and efficient navigation. The updated layout emphasizes ease of use while providing quick access to critical functions.
• Robust Error Handling: New error detection and handling features minimize the risk of discrepancies and loss of data, ensuring the accuracy of race data even in complex, large-scale events. This makes the RaceDay Mobile Timing App a reliable choice for events of all sizes.
• Expanded Device Compatibility: The app now supports a wider range of devices, offering timers more flexibility in how they manage and execute race timing. This includes compatibility with the latest mobile operating systems and devices.

Versatility for Smaller Events and Backup Timing

The RaceDay Mobile Timing App is specifically designed to cater to the needs of smaller or remote endurance events such as ultra-distance races, track and field competitions, cross country meets, cycling events, and water sports. It provides a cost-effective, user-friendly timing solution through the convenient use of Android and Apple phones and tablets. Event timers can easily log finish times and the order of finishers, with real-time results publishing directly to RunSignup’s results platform.

Backup Timing for Larger Events

In addition, the RaceDay Mobile Timing App is a valuable backup tool for larger races, similar to traditional Time Machine devices. Timers can use the app to verify top finisher results or as a contingency plan if issues arise with RFID chip timing systems. The app records the data internally, providing a seamless backup without disrupting official timing operations.

RaceDay Real-Time Technology Suite

The improvements to the RaceDay Mobile Timing App are part of RunSignup’s ongoing commitment to innovation in the endurance industry. The RaceDay Real-Time product suite, which also includes RaceDay CheckIn, RaceDay Scoring, RaceDay Results, and RaceJoy, is designed to provide a comprehensive, integrated solution for delivering real-time information and experiences.

The updated free RaceDay Mobile Timing App is now available for download on both iOS and Android platforms. RunSignup encourages all timing professionals and event organizers to explore the new features and see how they can elevate their race day operations.
