More than just timing systems – but they are good too!
Purchased wooden trophies for first time for Golf event. Went down an absolute storm. Usual great service but chance to have a bespoke trophy from sustainable materials was fantastic.

Thank you. Will be back next year!

Absolutely brilliant! The team from Race Timing Solutions were fantastic. Responsive to all our needs, changes and requirements. Worked well with us to understand the event and ensure their support was integrated and seamless to its smooth running.
Several years now working with the team and they are getting stronger.
A happy partnership and one the team at Boulters to Bray Trust!

Nadia arrived the day before to discuss set up. Through no fault of her own the race timing did get mixed but she worked hard to try and fix it. Before the event there was clear communication and yo…

Lovely to work with and make the whole event a breeze! Our event is a coastal open water swim race with up to 300 competitors. The pre-event communication is great and on the day service just amazing 🙂 One less thing to worry about when event planning. They also offer great swim hats, t-shirts and medals too.

Visit Hitchin Wrestling event – They were great to work with from Start to Finish. Excellent value for money and kept us updated at every stage of the process.

Henry, timed the event to perfection, and was really quick to produce the results when asked for, ready for the trophy giving.
The day went seamlessly, top marks!

Katy Denny

Brilliant team making race timing easy! Supportive, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful – RTS are a race director’s dream and their patience, attention to detail and responsiveness is brilliant through the whole process. Joe was superb on race day and the days before and after; Sam was brilliant in the months ahead of our race. Truly excellent service.

Long Player Running

Amazing bespoke wooden medals and trophies for our running events. Graham has gone above and beyond with the deisgns and we have had 3D and multi-part medals. Emily has been super helpful every step of the way. Would definitely recommend and reuse.

Henry represented RTS superbly, he arrived exactly when he said he would, set up all his equipment swiftly and was ready to go in plenty of time. He assisted with a minor user error with the new number allocation process with ease. Highly recommended.

We’ve been working with Dennis and the team at Race Timing Solutions for nearly 15 years now can’t imagine delivering the event without them. He and the whole team are just great. Nothing is too much trouble and they are ‘on it’ with everything related to timing and queries from participants etc. It’s amazing the results we get particularly when you consider that our runners are doing an obstacle race so they are going through lots of mud, fire, ice, water and many other things (it’s not just a standard road event) and somehow The Race Timing Solutions systems seems to work very well every year. I would massively recommend working with Dennis and the team and happy to chat to anyone thinking of using them if required.

Anthony Preston

We have used Race Timing Solutions for our last two Junior Triathlons and they have been fantastic. Both Emily in the lead-up and Henry and his team onsite were fantastic, we would definitely look to use them again next year! First class service.

Phoenix Running Crystal Palace

Race Timing Solutions is amazing, I worked with Dennis who’s also amazing, he gave me so much assistance on what I need to know prior to our event and on the day, thank you Dennis for going extra miles to help us. I would highly recommend this company.

Mike

June 19, 2025

This is the fourth year in a row we’ve used RaceTiming Solutions, and once again, they delivered flawlessly. From the very first conversation to post-event follow-ups, they are an absolute pleasure to work with. Dennis brings a wealth of experience and a calm, reassuring presence on event day — something that is truly invaluable and plays a big part in making our event the success it is. Highly recommended!

The Black Tri Tribe

June 19, 2025

We used Race Timing Solutions for our community triathlon this year, and the experience was nothing short of outstanding. From start to finish, their representative Henry went above and beyond — he was prompt, professional, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire event.

As a grassroots organisation running a triathlon now in its fourth year, we’ve worked with several timing providers, but Henry’s support made the biggest impact to date. His calm approach, attention to detail, and willingness to help with every query made the day run smoothly and gave our team real peace of mind. Emily was great over the phone and on teams leading up to the event.

We’ll absolutely be working with Race Timing Solutions again next year. If you’re looking for a reliable, friendly, and professional timing company for your race event, look no further!

Thank you again to Henry and Emily.

Mat, Emily and the RTS team were all fantastic for our recent event, the Compton 10k. This is the fourth year we have worked together, and their service has been friendly and supportive with constructive feedback to help grow our event.

Whale Family

May 12, 2025

Superb service from Race Timings solutions. Yhis was my first event as marathon race director and a steep learning curve for me but the chip timers were supportive and helpful from start to finish in the planning and on the day. Rory was brilliant – turning up very early for the set up, calm, organised and on top of everything. Fantastic thank you.

Sandra Koch

April 22, 2025

We have used Race Timing Solutions for several years now and the work with them is easy and seamless. They are very approachable with timely communication and an easy going attitude on the day.
They make life for an event organiser very easy.
We are very happy to recommend them and will use them in the future.

tESTIMONIALS

The best way for us to work for you is to work with you. Teamwork is central to the Race Timing Solutions philosophy and a pillar of our service delivery to ensure that your race is a success. Our goal is to make sure that the Race Timing experience is fulfilling to all the participants and we can achieve this by working closely in partnership with you. Here’s what some of our clients have had to say about us.

RACE THE SUN

MATT JONES, ARMY

“I took some time this morning looking through the results pages for both teams and individuals. The product you have done is frankly amazing and was exactly what I was hoping for in my vision. It is the biggest talking point around the regiment right now, with universal praise for getting you on board and really adding professionalism and credibility to the times. I have not today received a single protest or appeal from any team – which is testament to the accuracy of the data. On a personal note, thank you to you an all your team for their hard work. You were exceptionally understanding, patient, good humoured and accommodating. I am glad working with the Army has been a positive experience for you. I will be pushing your services to everyone I know, who is planning any kind of sporting or adventure race. As you know, there is some real opportunity within our community to do more race timing – the quicker we spread the word about you the better!”

HALO LEISURE

CATHY FLETHCER

“We used Race Timing Solutions for our charity obstacle event Furlong Fury. Being relatively new to biggish events (600 entrants) we appreciated all the help and support along the way. On the day it was reassuring that the RTS guys had the timing all under control – helping us with pre entered and on the day entries. They also offered inflatable start and finish arches and a big clock which all added to the atmosphere. We have used RTS twice and would have no hesitation in recommending or using them again. Cathy Fletcher, Halo Leisure”

STUTLAND STAMPEDE

VICTORIA TURNER

“RTS understand what we need to make race day run smoothly. The service we receive before, during and after our events definitely make us feel like a long-term valued client. The calm and professional manner of the RTS team helps us to keep our heads during the busy buildup to the start of the race. They take all of the stress out of manually recording results and the hours spent after the event getting the data together and online – with RTS the process is seamless and runners can see their results as soon as they exit the finish funnel – how’s that for service! The RTS team always go above and beyond the call of duty. I highly recommend!”

HIGH MULTISPORTS CLUB

BARNAB GRAY

“Would be uncomfortable using any other company- We have used many companies over the years and as a race official, competitor and race organiser I can safely say that Race Timing Solutions cannot fail to make an impression at events and provide a wonderful experience for all- athletes, officials or spectators. Thankfully I have confirmed our bookings for 2016! RTS- thank you.”

BEARBROOK 10K

PENNY HERBERT

Love using you, you really help us out on the day. We get back great feedback as the runners love looking up their results at the finish.

POSITIVE SPORT

KARL READ

“The guys were fantastic. they arrived promptly, they set up the kit quickly and safely. They responded to all our requests immediately, and often kept checking at regular intervals that everything was running ok. Thank you for a fantastic service.”

MERLIN SPORTIVE

PHIL EDWARDS

“Merlin Cycle Sports Ltd has used Race Timing Solutions for the past 5 years. When we started with Dennis it was just for the timing service, however we soon realised how much work Dennis and his team could do for us. It is fair to say that working with Race Timing Solutions has reduced our workload at the critical time leading up to an event and equally has professionalised our process. We now contract Race Timing Solutions to organise our on line purchase, our event timing, Arch hire, allocation of numbers, presentation of race packs and PA systems. We start working with Race Timing Solutions 8 months before the event takes place. There is constant feedback about event take-up and we are able to mail shot our customers through Race Timing Solutions management page. The payment of fees is conducted monthly and in a very professional way which our accountant has praised. Leading up to the event the team work with us to bespoke the numbers for the riders and prepare all race packs for us to distribute. This has saved us so much time and stress. Post event the team are still available to publish the event times and sort out disputes with riders. We have been promoting events for over 25 years and in that time have never seen a company so well organised as Race Timing Solutions. For 2015 we have 6 sportive events all of which are supported by Race Timing Solutions. I strongly recommend Race Timing Solutions to event organisers. Their service is second to none.

LONDON FIRE BRIGADE WELFARE FUND

NICK NEWMAN

“Ben was very supportive during the event and was able to accommodate provision of a laptop for our use at registration because our paper list got soaking wet and disintegrated. The results were available immediately and even where we identified an error that we has made on the entry data, it was calmly and efficiently rectified. They’re experience helped identify potential errors in this data and they were able to suggest options of what might have gone wrong. They are very punctual and a real pleasure to work with.”

SIL LIMITED

STEVEN SWEENEY

“We chose Race Timing Solutions for our company’s mountain bike trials and found the technology both accurate and reliable. All our participants were able to access their results quickly and view their standings compared to other competitors. The RTS team were both helpful, friendly, and highly recommended.”

TOTAL WARRIOR

ADAM DICKINSON

“Race Timing Solutions have always provided a fantastic service for our events. They have never let us down with any aspect of the event timing and their customer service/response to individuals is always exceptionally quick around the events. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough and assuming service level (and price) remains the same, it would be impossible for us to ever leave! :-)”

NUTS CHALLENGE

ADAM DICKINSON

“Race Timing solutions have always provided a first class service bringing professionalism and quality to every event they have timed for me. They covered everything i could possibly need them to taking a weight off of my shoulders, this has allowed me to focus on making my events bigger and better year in year out. I cant recommend them highly enough. If you want to get people who are just as enthusiastic about your events as you are look no further.”

TRENT COLLEGE

TRENT GIRLS 5K

Race Timing Solutions were the only company (out of four) to reply, I think this was due to our event being a small school event. They were so helpful right from my enquiry until the feedback after the event. They were always contactable and the support on the day was fantastic. Courtney was extremely professional and helpful on the day. I am extremely impressed and will definitely be using them again.”

LOVE SWIM

CHLOE ANNE

“We’ve used racetimingsolutions at our loveswimrun open water swimming events, The Big Welsh Swim and The Big Bala Swim, and have been blown away by the level of professionalism, enthusiasm and care that all their members of staff give. They are super organised, really friendly and the mat system they use seems simple and flawless. The chips are on comfortable neoprene bands that secure well. We have only had one lost chip at our events and suspect that was down to user error! wink In comparison to other mat timing providers the service they offer is a very reasonable price. We are looking forward to welcoming Race Timing Solutions to our future swimming events and would highly recommend them.”

WEST SUFFOLK TRIATHLON

WEST SUFFOLK WHEELERS

“Race Timing Solutions (RTS) provided chip timing services for the West Suffolk Triathlon 2018 and they were a pleasure to work with. The price of their service represents good value, they were proactive in contacting me before the race and easy to communicate with. On the day I found Dennis to be very knowledgable, efficient and professional. He made me feel relaxed that the chip timing was under control and everything ran smoothly with no major issues. The results were published live to the web during the race and the final results for prizes were available very quickly after the last competitor was finished. I have used the services of one other race timing provider and the service of RTS was miles ahead in comparison. Thanks, from Sam – Race Director 2017-2018”

BELIEVE AND ACHIEVE

ROB PIGGOT

“When i booked race timing solutions to cover the timing for the Portsmouth Coastal Half Marathon in Feb 2011 I was very impressed with the overall quality of their work. So impressed I have now booked them for our next 4 events and in the process have reduced my overall workload and have the peace of mind that they will do a fantastic job again and again. The whole running of the timing for the half marathon was fantastic and all runners commented on how well it all went from picking up their race chips to the race results service at the end. I would highly recommend them to anybody who is looking for a quality service for future races or events.”

PAUL WESTON MEMORIAL JUNIOR AQUATHALON

ELLIOT PECKHUM

“Outstanding service from start to finish. I was a first time race organiser and RTS provided a clear and professional service which meant I had once less thing to worry about when planning the event and on the day itself. They were very flexible to our needs and I couldn’t have been happier with the service given. Thank you very much!”

OYSTERAMAN TRI

ACTIVE LIFE

“We use RTS for our Tri Series events including the Oysterman Triathlon in Kent. We’ve been fortunate to have Dennis a few times and he’s brilliant and able to manage different peoples expectations, from us as the event organisers to the participants wanting to discuss their times. The kit is of a good standard, they always arrive with plenty of time and are well priced in comparison to other timing companies we have used over the years that were not as helpful and just wanted to get off site as quick as possible. We look forward to working with you again in the summer”

dennis lisbygd
"I was 5 years old when I was given a BMX bike by my parents, under the conditions that I was joining the local BMX club. Over the next 10 years of my life we were travelling most of northern Europe to compete in BMX events. During the same period, but more so in the years after putting the bike on the shelf, I went more into endurance sports like running and triathlon and this is where I was introduced to chip timing. In 2007 I found myself helping a local club with electronic timing in Denmark and I instantly saw the possibilities to provide instant results. It was amazing I started to look more into investing in my own, I had soon found ways to invest in my own equipment and on a small scale was timing running and cycling events in Denmark next to my normal day to day job. It was then in 2010 when I moved from Denmark to the UK I decided not to look for a ‘normal’ job and instead pursue to find enough work to survive. The natural passion for sport and the need to ‘survive’ seems to have been the perfect ‘drive’
