BibTag – the standard timing technology for mass events
Since 1982, MYLAPS has been the pioneer of automatic sports timing, powering events at every level – from World Marathon Majors to thousands of local community races worldwide. BibTag is the standard for mass running events, featuring lightweight and cost-effective chips with the highest read rates in the industry. The MYLAPS ThinTag, which is 75% thinner than regular timing tags, not only reduces waste and shipping volume but also contributes to lowering carbon emissions.
