We just completed the 2024 Winter Timer Tour where our EventDay team traveled to four cities to meet with nearby timers. We took the opportunity to give an updated on our RaceDay Suite of timer technology, show product demos, answer specific product questions, and get feedback for our development team. In addition, we shined the spotlight on those timers in attendance who completed all four RunSignup timer certifications and announced the 2024 Alan Jones Timer of the Year award winner, Adam Shelton with Start2Finish.
