From the organising team. From the course. For your race.

Good to know.
Which races is THOP Time suited to?
Our offer is aimed mainly at smaller running events with up to 500 participants. Courses with start and finish in the same place are ideal, including lap courses. We are happy to check together whether your race is a good fit.
What does THOP Time handle, and what stays with us?
We support you with registration, bibs, timing, results and certificates, depending on what you need. Event organisation, the course, safety and permits remain with your organising team. Who handles which task is set out in the quote.
What does it cost?
The race calendar listing is free. For all other services we prepare a no-obligation quote tailored to your event and the scope you need.
Do you need power or internet on site?
A power connection is helpful but not essential: depending on conditions, our timing system runs for around six hours on battery. The internet connection uses the mobile network, so good reception at the venue is important. We check mobile coverage together in advance.
Can we keep our existing registration?
Yes, of course. You can use our services individually or combined. If you already have a registration system, we will agree together how to transfer participant data for timing.
Available dates.
Choose a free day. The request form opens with that date already filled in.
Once you send the request, the date is provisionally reserved for you for 24 hours. The request is free and without obligation. If we do not end up working together, there is no cost to you.
