Event Services
DRS Timing manages full-scale events, by cross-functional and qualified staff, experienced vendors and strategic partners. We love what we do — all together focused on effective supply chain and operational efficiency to provide the most memorable, positive experience possible.
Accurate timing starts with the utilization of an industry standard registration system and an experienced support crew correctly entering any new or late information. We use industry preferred equipment on race day to track each individual from the time they cross the start line to when they finish. Results can be published immediately after the race ends.
We design it, order it, print it, sort it, package and deliver it, and manage the registrant pickup process. The quality of any giveaway at your event needs to exceed the expectations of the participant. Many people register because of the swag (shirts, medals, amenities). Our buying power and in-house print shop helps ensure you stay within budget.
Races of any size require participants and volunteers to be successful. Our database consists of tens of thousands of qualified leads to put your race in front of. We have a dedicated team of individuals who focus on putting together the best plan-of-action to reach goals and maximize a budget. Start your journey to a no worries race by contacting us today.
