Problem
Race organizers often rely on expensive chip timing systems or manual stopwatches, which can be costly to set up, require specialized hardware, and are prone to human error, especially for events with multiple start waves or split points.
Solution
RaceClocker offers a cloud‑based, do‑it‑yourself application that enables race directors, timekeepers, and coaches to conduct manual timing using any internet‑connected device. Users import participant data, record start, finish, and split times in real time, and publish live results instantly to spectators or venue screens. The platform maintains a full audit trail of timestamps, allowing errors to be undone or reassigned without disrupting the overall results. Offline mode ensures timing can continue in areas with limited connectivity, with data syncing automatically when a connection is restored. Export functions provide ranked results in Excel format for archiving or further analysis.
Target Audience
The primary users are race directors, timekeepers, and coaches managing rowing, running, cycling, or similar timed events that require flexible start configurations and live result dissemination.
