RFID timing tags

Manufacturers of timing tags for sporting events

The RFID system in sports timing was one of the first revolutionary applications of radio frequency identification technology, since without implementing RFID technology for timing it would not be possible to efficiently control the simultaneous participation of more than 40,000 runners in massive events. As manufacturers of sports timing tags specialized in RFID solutions, Myruns has been supplying top quality and precision tags for the sports sector for more than ten years, consolidating our position as a reference in the national and international market. With our RFID timing labels and our advanced RFID technology, we provide comprehensive coverage for sporting events of all scales.

RFID systems
in sporting events

Myruns was born out of a deep passion for running and is based on a solid technological capability combined with an enthusiasm for endurance sports. This genuine passion led us to the development and design of foam RFID tags specially designed to withstand the most demanding conditions of sports timing. With a sport-centric approach and cutting-edge technology, Myruns strives to manufacture the most reliable and durable timing tags. Our RFID timing tags stand out for their exceptional resistance to moisture, sweat and water, maintaining optimal functionality even when runners are crossing puddles, crossing in heavy rain or sweating profusely during long-distance competitions. The superior quality of our foam materials and the hermetic sealing of the RFID chips guarantee accurate and consistent readings in all weather conditions, making our tags the preferred choice of organizers looking for reliable sports timing regardless of terrain or weather adversities.

Supply of RFID tags for large-scale timekeeping

At Myruns we have the ability to supply large volumes of RFID timing tags tailored to the specific needs of two main types of customers in the sports timing industry:

Organizers of races and sporting events

We work directly with organizers of prestigious events such as the Behobia San Sebastian, San Silvestre Vallecana, company races and all kinds of organizations that organize sports competitions. For these clients we offer a comprehensive RFID tag service, where we take care of the complete encoding of the tags and supply them ready to attach directly to the bibs. This approach allows organizers to focus on event management while we guarantee the accuracy and reliability of the RFID timing system right from the start.

Sports timing systems manufacturers

We work closely with specialized manufacturers who require not only our high-quality RFID tags, but also RFID readers and timing antennas to create complete, self-sufficient systems. These technology partners purchase our comprehensive equipment to develop their own timing solutions, encode tags to their specifications and offer complete systems to event organizers. This collaborative relationship is highly beneficial, as it generates sustained demand for our specialized technical products: tags, readers and antennas, creating a value chain that strengthens the entire ecosystem of professional sports timing.

FAQs about RFID Timing Tags

What are RFID tags for sports timing?

These are electronic devices that use radio waves to transmit information wirelessly. They allow recording and monitoring the times of participants in sporting events in an accurate and efficient manner.

How do Timing Tags work?

The tags are placed on the athletes (on their bib, clothing or footwear) and, as they pass through checkpoints with RFID readers, their time is automatically recorded.

What are the advantages of using RFID systems in timekeeping?

Accuracy: eliminates the need for manual timing, reducing errors.
Efficiency: they make it possible to manage large numbers of participants.
Real-time tracking: organizers can monitor athletes’ progress during the event.
Comfort: they do not cause discomfort to athletes.

Why use RFID tags?

RFID tags offer multiple benefits, among them:

Automatic object identification and tracking.
Increased efficiency in inventory and supply chain management.
Reduction of errors and operating costs.
Improved security and access control.
Reliable operation even in harsh environments.
Remote reading, without the need for direct visual contact with the reader.

Where are RFID tags placed?

They can be placed on the runner’s bib, clothing or footwear.
