SFTC is available for hire to help time your race. Three finish line systems options are offered, plus equipment rentals (see below for details). You can estimate your fees by filling in the information below:

Step 1: Timing Services

1. All new Timing Services "hire" requests must be presented to the SFTC Board at a board meeting. SFTC board meetings are held monthly. Check the Event Calendar for meeting dates. The Timing Services Application form must be completed by the race organizers and submitted either before or at the board meeting at which the hire request is made.
2. The initial contact for new requests and questions should be the District Rep for the area where the race is held. Once the request is approved, a SFTC liaison is assigned who then becomes the contact point for the race.
3. Race organizers are responsible for arranging their own insurance coverage. One way to obtain insurance is through USA Track & Field as part of their event sanctioning process.
