WILDSIDE SERVICE
RFID Race Timing Services
Accurate timing isn't a nice-to-have. It's the one thing every participant remembers — and the one thing that can't go wrong on race day.
Wildside provides professional RFID race timing through our own system, Split Second Timing. We own the equipment, we run the operation, and we stand behind every result. No subcontractors. No borrowed gear. Just a team that shows up prepared and delivers clean data from gun to finish line.
We time all distances — 5Ks, 10Ks, half marathons, marathons, ultras, and triathlons. Results are delivered in real time and posted online, emailed to participants, or both. Every detail is customizable to match your event experience.
Need timing only? We offer it as a standalone service. Want us to handle the full race? Even better — Split Second Timing is one piece of a complete race management operation we can run end to end.

THE PROCESS
1. Pre-Race Setup — We coordinate chip assignment, bib distribution logistics, and timing mat placement ahead of race day. Every reader, every mat, every backup system is tested before the first participant arrives.
2. Race Day Execution — Our team manages the full timing operation on-site, start, finish, and any split points along the course. We run passive UHF or active transponder chips depending on your race type and distance.
3. Real-Time Results — As participants cross the finish line, results are captured and published in real time. Live leaderboards, age group rankings, and custom finish data, all configurable to what your race needs.
4. Results Delivery — Final results are posted online, emailed directly to participants, or both. You get clean, organized data ready to publish the moment the runner crosses the finish line.
FAQs ON OUR SERVICES
What timing system do you use?
We use Split Second Timing — our own proprietary RFID timing system. We own and operate the equipment directly, which means tighter quality control and no dependency on third-party vendors.
What RFID chip options do you offer?
We offer passive UHF and active transponder chip options. The right choice depends on your race type, course layout, and distance — we'll recommend the best fit during your consultation.
Do you time all race distances?
Yes. From 5Ks to marathons, ultras, and triathlons — we time all distances and course configurations.
Can I hire Wildside for timing only?
Absolutely. We offer RFID timing as a standalone service. That said, if you're open to it, we'd love to show you what a fully managed race looks like — timing is just one piece of what we do.
How are results delivered to participants?
Results are available in real time during the race, immeditatly right after the runner crosses the finish line and delivered post-event via online posting, direct email to participants, or both your call.
How far in advance should I book timing services?
As early as possible, especially for peak race season. Popular dates fill quickly — reach out at least 3 to 6 months out to secure your date.
