Chip timing, live results and finish-line video for road races, trail runs, ultras and multisport events, from a woman-owned, veteran-owned team in Central Maryland.
RaceDay Certified TimerRunSignup’s RaceDay Scoring program
Race timing
Chip timing that’s fast, accurate and reliable
Every runner gets a timing chip on their bib, every crossing is read at the mats, and results are posted on site and online.
Disposable RFID chips
Every bib carries a disposable SMARTRAC DOGBONE (Impinj Monza R6) RFID tag, so there’s nothing to collect after the race.
Mats and reader
race|result foldable antenna mats feed an RFID Timing Ultra 8 reader at the start, the finish and any split points on your course.
Live results
RunSignup handles registration and live results, and full results are posted on site and here on overlandtiming.com.
Finish-line video
Many of our races include a finish-line video link for every runner, cued to the moment they cross the line.
Finisher certificates
Runners can open a printable finisher certificate straight from their row in the results.
Detailed results
Overall, gender, age group and division places, pace and time behind the leader, searchable by name or bib.

Race announcing, music and equipment rentals
WF Running announces, emcees and DJs races, using up to four high-output speakers and a custom playlist for each event.
They work closely with the race director on a minute-by-minute “run of show” that covers when sponsor shout-outs and announcements happen, and they use everything they know about your field to make each participant feel appreciated as they approach the finish line.

Race directors say
Easy to work with, race after race
I used Overland Timing for a race in Cape May, New Jersey and they were so easy to work with! Melissa was great to work with, easy to contact and quick to respond. I would highly recommend using Overland Timing Company and we will definitely be using them again.
The Mendon Turkey Trot has used Overland Timing for the past two years with much success. Melissa has been so helpful mentoring us novices through the requirements of hosting a timed race. This year was more organized than the previous one because of Overland's experience and their willingness to share information and offer suggestions. Highly recommend!
Melissa with Overland Timing was fantastic to work with. She provided great advice and a great product. I look forward to using Overland Timing for our race next year!
