About the RFID RACE TIMING SERVICES

Identium's RFID race timing services in India are a fully managed chip-timing package for marathons, half marathons, corporate runs, college athletic meets and charity walks. Rather than buying equipment you will use two or three times a year, the organiser books the service and we bring everything to the venue: the automatic race timing system, numbered bibs with tags included, and the antennas, readers and supporting machinery needed at the start, split and finish points. Charges are worked out on a per-head basis, so the cost tracks the actual size of your field rather than the size of a hardware invoice. The tags run on India's UHF band, and the same setup travels to events we support abroad.

Key specifications

Best-fit applications

• City marathons and half marathons needing start, split and finish capture
• Corporate 5K and 10K runs where HR wants finisher results the same day
• School and college athletic meets with several heats in one morning
• Charity walks and fun runs with large, mixed-ability fields
• Cycling sportives and trail events held outside city limits
• Sponsor-led events that want bibs printed and tagged in a single supply

Mounting, encoding and reading notes

Each entrant wears the numbered bib on the chest with the tag on the reverse; brief runners not to pin through the tag, fold the bib or cover it with a jacket. Our crew sets the read zone so the whole width of the start and finish funnel is covered, siting antennas away from steel barricades, generator cabling and standing water. Tags are encoded and matched to bib numbers before handover, and we run a live read test on the laid-out course before the gun goes.

Why buy from Identium

Identium has manufactured RFID in New Delhi since 2015 and is BIS and WPC certified, so the timing hardware and bib tags are compliant in India and, being ETSI-compatible, usable at events we support in Europe, the UK, the GCC and Africa. We handle custom encoding and bib artwork, offer bulk and OEM pricing to organisers running a full season, and send free samples on request.

Frequently asked questions

What is included in the RFID race timing service?

The RFID race timing service from India RFID Store includes automatic race timing with the complete system, race bibs, antennas, readers and all the required machinery. Organisers in India do not have to buy hardware separately, because the equipment is part of the service package.

How is RFID race timing priced in India?

RFID race timing is charged on a per head basis, so the cost is calculated from the number of registered participants rather than a fixed hardware price. Share your event date, city and expected participant count with India RFID Store to get a quote.

How does RFID race timing work?

In RFID race timing every participant wears a race bib carrying an RFID tag, which is read automatically by antennas and readers placed at the timing points. Each crossing is recorded without manual entry, so timings are captured accurately for every runner in the field.

Do event organisers need to buy RFID readers for race timing?

No, organisers do not need to purchase readers or antennas, because the RFID race timing service supplies bibs, antennas, readers and all machinery as part of the package. This makes it practical for marathons, cyclothons, school meets and college runs held anywhere in India.
