Timing clocks for rent

Timing clocks for rent

Timing clocks are widely used in marathons, triathlons and cycling. PROM’ES has over forty race clocks available for hire. For larger events, such as the Enschede Marathon and the Berlin Marathon, we also provide on-site support.

Timing clocks functions

PROM’ES rents out race timing clocks in various sizes. You can choose between a single-sided led clock or a double-sided clock. The 5-digit clocks display hours, minutes and seconds up to 9:59:59 or minutes, seconds and hundredths up to 9:59:99. The 6-digit clocks display hours, minutes and seconds up to 99:59:59 or minutes, seconds and hundredths up to 99:59:99. Race clocks can count up or down. The numbers on the clocks are reflective and can be read from a distance of tens of metres, even in full sunlight. 

A race clock is weatherproof and can therefore also be used when it rains. The timing clocks are easy to operate via the built-in control panel or via a remote control. A race clock has an internal rechargeable battery. We ensure that you receive the clock fully charged so that it can function without mains power during the event. We use special reinforced cases (flight cases) to transport the timing clocks safely.

Positioning timing clocks

Most organisations hire a timing clock for the finish line. This offers added value for the public; it also allows the photographer at your event to take great finish photos with the finish time clearly visible. The timing clock is mounted on a tripod at the finish line. With the aid of a mounting kit, the clock can also be attached to the finish line. Of course, timing clocks can also be placed along the course so that participants can read their split times. Larger events often use cars and motorcycles on the course. With a roof rack, it is possible to attach the marathon clock to the car. The clock can also be mounted on a motorcycle.

 

On-site support for timing clocks

A timing clock is easy to install and operate. This task can easily be carried out by a volunteer. Larger events often hire ten to twenty timing clocks to display passing and finishing times for all distances. In that case, we are happy to take care of the control on site. This means that we take care of setting up the clocks, operating them during the event and taking them down afterwards. We have a transmitter system that allows us to quickly and easily send the exact start time to the clocks. PROM'ES has sufficient timing clocks for running races and manpower to take care of multiple events in a single weekend.

Enschede Marathon

In spring, PROM'ES traditionally attends the Enschede Marathon with its clocks. The first edition of this event took place in 1947, making the Enschede Marathon the oldest marathon in the Netherlands and Western Europe. The event now attracts around 17,000 runners annually over various distances. The combination of a fast course, good organisation and a welcoming atmosphere is appealing to more and more (international) runners. 
For the Enschede Marathon, we place clocks at all five-kilometre points. In addition, we attach three extra-large clocks to the finish line: this way, each distance has its own finish clock. The organisation uses three motor clocks along the course.

Berlin Marathon

In the autumn, we travel to Berlin. Since 2006, the Berlin Marathon has been part of the Abbott World Marathon Majors. This is a partnership between the six largest marathons in the world: Tokyo, London, Boston, Chicago, New York and Berlin. The beautiful course runs right through the German capital. The Berlin Marathon is known as one of the fastest marathons in the world. More world records have been set here than at any other marathon in the world: thirteen so far! 
At every five-kilometre point, we place a clock that is compatible with our transmitter system. A PROM'ES employee drives ahead of the front runners along the course and uses the transmitter to set all the clocks to exactly the right time.
