rts RACE EXTRAS services

Kerry - September 1st, 2025
"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."

Emily Gale - October 31st, 2025
"Clear communication from start to finish with Emily who supported the coordination of our 2025 events. We used Race Timing Solutions for two of our triathlon events and felt extremely satisfied with their support all throughout. Joe our Timer was excellent at delivering all of our racking, race packs, and extras, as well as setting up and monitoring the chip timing on the day in all pre-agreed locations, no hassle. He was also great at correcting any chip timing matters that had faults and supporting the crew in all matters of wave times. I really recommend RTS for all their services, we continued to be highly satisfied with their support and look forward to working with them again."
