The compact and lightweight Ubidium system was seamlessly integrated into the event, providing real-time results and enhancing the overall race experience.
Capital Road Race Management and Race Result are proud to announce the successful deployment of the cutting-edge Ubidium timing technology at the California International Marathon (CIM) held last weekend. This marks a significant milestone in race timing, ensuring unparalleled accuracy and reliability for the thousands of participants.
The Ubidium system, known for its compact and lightweight design, was seamlessly integrated into the event, providing real-time results and enhancing the overall race experience. The new Ubidium ground antenna mats, capable of being deployed across even the widest road courses within seconds, ensured that every runner's performance was accurately recorded.
Chris Mason, Head Timer at Capital Road Race Management, expressed his enthusiasm about the new system: "We are thrilled to have partnered with Race Result to provide timing and scoring services for the 2024 California International Marathon. The star of the show was the introduction of Ubidium, which we deployed at six timing locations. Aside from seeing excellent read rates, these systems dramatically reduced our team’s workload and allowed us to deploy splits in as little as 20 seconds, something that’s important for an urban road race with rolling street closures. We could not be more pleased with the solution that Race Result offers! "
Johnny Chandler, Technical Sales Manager for Race Result Americas, also commented on the successful implementation: "We are delighted to see Ubidium in action at such a prestigious event. The positive feedback from Capital Road Race Management and the seamless performance of the system reaffirm our commitment to providing the best timing solutions in the industry."
The California International Marathon, celebrated for its net downhill, point-to-point course and competitive elite field, has reached new heights with the enhanced accuracy and seamless deployment offered by Ubidium. CIM was the first race in the US to use multiple Ubidium passive systems since its release. Capital Road Race Management, based in Sacramento, CA, will now deploy the Race Result technology in all of their events.
