MYLAPS Records Fastest Marathon Time in History at Boston 2011 – Company\’s new BibTag system is advanced timing technology

From the race director we received the feedback that it’s been a very smooth transition to the new technology. The team worked extremely well with all the timing companies involved and the support staff from MYLAPS. The results confirm the expectations: the MYLAPS BibTag system worked outstanding.

From the day MYLAPS started developing the system, the objective was to take the timing of running events up to a new level, at the runners chest. By combining in-house antenna design with the detection technology platform used by MYLAPS customers like NASCAR and the Olympic Games, MYLAPS has been able to achieve unparalleled results for a system that makes being timed easy for the runner: Just wear the Bib.

Having the BibTag technology at the Boston Marathon was also exciting for the race director. His goal was to move to a reliable solution for timing that could provide easy distribution and an improved runner experience. The MYLAPS BibTag system was the answer. With reliable results, a clean finish line and happy runners, it exceeded the expectations.

MYLAPS thanks the BAA for their trust in the MYLAPS team and technology. We also thank the high tech MYLAPS timing partners involved for their crucial role in this success:
