Road Race Services
Brief History
Start To Finish was incorporated in 1979 by partners Dwight Blomquist and
Constantine Chiger. The founding idea was to provide first-class race-timing
services with a minimum of customer stress. We started immediately with the
best equipment possible and today—over 2500 races later—we still
use the best.
***Our Featured Product: MYLAPS
BibTag System***
We have been using the MYLAPS® disposable chip system since 2011. All participants receive the MYLAPS disposable chip affixed to the back of their number when they pick up their number at registration. The MYLAPS all-weather detection maps track the path of
each custom race chip as it comes within range. The detection mats can be placed anywhere on the race course—not just the finish line—for accurate
wave-starts and split-timing.
