The Frederick Steeplechasers Running Club has decades of experience providing timing, course marking, and promotion services to race directors in the Frederick County, Maryland area. Our services are a low-cost alternative for small races (less than 300 finishers).
Races receiving finish line and/or course marking services will be required to furnish proof of insurance.
We look forward to working with you to make your race successful.
Timing Services
Basic Service
Timing/scoring is performed using the Time Machine race timing equipment and race bib pull-tags. This timing methodology is a low-cost approach, best suited for races with fewer than 200 finishers. After the race, pull tags with times are supplied to the Race Director who enters the results in a spreadsheet.
Scoring Service
RunSignup customers can add scoring to the Basic Service. Here the Time Machine sends results to our scoring software. The results and awards are then automatically calculated and sent to your RunSignup website.
Chip Service
RunSignup customers can add chip timing to the Scoring Service. Here a chip timing system is used which sends results to our scoring software. The results and awards are then automatically calculated and sent to your RunSignup website.
Course Marking
Course Marking
Course Marking can be added to any of our Timing Services. The race course will be marked with cones, mile markers, and directional signage.
Promotion Services
