The new solution is designed to address the distinct requirements of these multi-sport events in the U.S., with a high focus on accuracy, live tracking, and runner experience.

With the increasing popularity of hybrid events that involve combinations of biking, swimming, and running, organizers are struggling to synchronize transition times, wave starts, and multi-leg splits. Its system provides a single platform utilizing RFID bib timing chips, water leg ankle tags, and live app-based tracking. This gives full transparency of race directors and athletes at each checkpoint.

"Triathletes don't simply require finish times—they require fluidity, accuracy, and real-time feedback on every leg of the competition," stated the You Just Run Founder & Director. "This new configuration enables us to assist hybrid and adventure races without skipping a beat."

One System. Three Sports. Zero Guesswork.
The upgraded system features:

Waterproof ankle timing tags for swimming events.

Cycling transition mats with ultra-low latency reads.

Operate bibs with dual-frequency RFID for live race apps.

Cloud-based race dashboards for real-time split uploads and live tracking.

Automated transition zone timing with athlete flow analytics.

Race organizers get to enjoy easy setup, decreased volunteer demands, and more in-depth race insights. Athletes benefit from live updates, customized results pages, and painless segment-by-segment tracking.
