RaceTec Toolkit
Mobile Timing Game-Changer

Everything You Need in the Palm of Your Hand

A native Android & iOS app that turns your mobile device into a dynamic, professional race timing hub
— perfect for smaller events across Africa.

Key Features That Elevate Your Event

FinishTime, in conjunction with Australian partners RaceTec, has developed the ‘RaceTec Toolkit’ as a paperless registration, admin and timekeeping system for smaller, regional and club events. Using RaceTec Toolkit, clubs and organisers that want to save costs can easily handle the timing and admin themselves with a small team of volunteers.
