ShaZam Racing is an Illinois-based timing and scoring company with specialized expertise in race event management. Starting in 2025, ShaZam will utilize MYLAPS BibTag technology for all their races, including their flagship events the Detweiller at Dark and the Steamboat Classic.

BibTag technology – the best-in-class timing for mass events

Founded in 1982, MYLAPS is the inventor of automatic sports timing. MYLAPS technology is used worldwide, from the Olympics and major marathons to NASCAR and local races. To offer best-in-class timing services, ShaZam Racing decided to partner with MYLAPS to use BibTag technology. This is the standard timing system for mass running events with affordable chips and the highest read rates in the industry. It was used in October at the Chicago Marathon when Ruth Chepngetich smashed the women’s world record. The MYLAPS ThinTag is 75% thinner than regular tags. This results in less waste and shipment space having a positive impact on carbon emissions.

Creating the ultimate sports experience for all

Recognizing that the racing world is constantly evolving, and customers’ needs are changing, ShaZam looks toward the next decade of serving clients and growing their events.

“We are always canvassing the industry landscape to ensure our partnerships align with providing the most meaningful and effective race management support possible for every client, organization, and participant” stated Adam White, co-founder and CEO of ShaZam Racing. “As we move into a new chapter for ShaZam Racing, we are confident in this step forward with MYLAPS as a major asset in enhancing the event experience for every client, organization, sponsor, and participant we have the honor to serve.”

Sean Reilly, Managing Director USA at MYLAPS, expresses, “At MYLAPS, our goal is to deliver the ultimate sports experience for athletes, spectators, and events alike. It’s great to see the shared passion for sports with ShaZam. We’re thrilled that they have selected our technology to provide best-in-class timing experiences for their events. We look forward to our collaboration in the years ahead.”
