About Kinetic Timing

At Kinetic Timing, we believe race day should be seamless, exciting, and unforgettable—for both organizers and participants. With nearly 20 years of experience timing local running events, we've built a reputation for accuracy, dependability, and personal service that goes the extra mile.

Founded by Ramie Clagg in 2018, Kinetic Timing was born out of a passion for running and a desire to help event coordinators execute successful, well-timed races. Over the years, Ramie has grown the business with a deep understanding of what makes race day great—precision, communication, and, above all, the human connection.

Our Name, Our Mission

kinetic (kəˈnedik): relating to or resulting from motion; of a work of art, dependent on movement for its effect.

This definition is at the heart of Kinetic Timing. Every event we work on is about motion—both in the athletes running and the energy we bring to the race. We love the feeling of being a part of something bigger, something that moves people both physically and emotionally.

What Drives Us

"Our favorite part of race morning is when that first runner arrives—they smile, say hello, and we get to chat with a stranger who feels like they know us, and we know them."

That connection is what drives us. Whether it's your first 5K or your tenth marathon, we're here to make sure everything runs smoothly, from start to finish line.

What We Offer

  • RFID chip timing
  • Custom race bibs
  • Live results
  • Professional sound systems
  • Dynamic finish lines
  • Real-time results posted online

We don't just show up—we invest in your event. Whether you're hosting a small town 5K or a larger running series, you can count on us to handle the details with care.

When you work with Kinetic Timing, you're not just hiring a service—you're gaining a race day partner who's as committed to your event's success as you are.

Let's make your next race your best yet.
