Now in its 7th year, the annual survey continues to serve as the industry’s leading research effort focused on the evolving landscape of race timing.
The comprehensive study explores the business realities, pain points, technological innovations, and future directions shaping the timing industry. Timers across the industry, including both RunSignup customers and those using other platforms, are encouraged to participate and share their experiences.
“This research helps us take the pulse of the timer community,” said Bob Bickel, Founder and CEO of RunSignup. “The insights we gain each year help identify emerging trends, uncover areas of opportunity, and guide both our product development and our educational efforts to better support the professionals who keep races running smoothly.”

Responses will be collected through December 5, 2025, and aggregated findings will be shared publicly to help timers and event organizers benchmark their practices and identify growth opportunities. Highlights will appear in RunSignup’s annual Race Trends Report, and detailed results will be presented at the 2026 Timer Education Summit.
