Timing solution for
Marathon
Made for the Masses. Ready in Minutes.
Fast and easy split point setup makes the TMK TIMING Passive System the ideal solution for marathon timing. By combining the TMK timing system with foldable ground antennas and high-quality UHF transponders, it delivers efficient workflows, outstanding detection rates, and real-time race data from the course. This proven setup is trusted at some of the world’s largest marathons.
Why our solution?
Perfect for Wide Start Lines
Cover up to 23 meters of width with a single system. Perfect for wide marathon starts and finish areas with arches or multiple lanes.
Minimal Infrastructure
The TMK timing system sets up in minutes and runs for hours on battery power. This keeps road closures short and equipment needs minimal.
Highest Detection Rates
Our sports-optimized UHF timing algorithms ensure industry-leading read rates, even at high-density starts and busy split points.
Setup
The marathon is timed at start and finish, and also at the 10K, 20K, half marathon, 30K, and 40K split points. A main and a backup system are used for the important start and finish times. All systems are synchronized via the integrated GPS receiver. Split timing points upload the data using a SIM card and mobile network.
All detections are received on the finish line, and live results are published on TMK Event Platform, allowing the public to follow their racer.
In TMK Workbench V4, use the template "Major Event with Start+Splits+Finish". This template offers the basic principle of such an event outline. Amend the template according to your needs and the splits you offer.
