Run the East proudly offers the latest in chip timing technology from IPICO Sports. Our system is based upon dual-frequency RFID technology that overcomes the limitations of conventional reader-talk-first timing systems. In addition, this technology results in virtually no interference and higher read rates than many competing technologies.

The IPICO Sports timing system is the official system of the Road Runners Club of America and is used at some of the world's largest races, such as the BolderBOULDER (over 50,000 runners).
