RunSignup Launches Timer Workshop Wednesdays

May 12, 2026

New Personalized Training Program for Race Timers

Moorestown, NJ — May 12, 2026 /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – RunSignup today announces the launch of Timer Workshop Wednesdays, a new live training series purpose-built for race timers who want to develop deeper expertise in specific real-world scenarios. The program is designed primarily to support RaceDay Certified Timers seeking advanced, hands-on training beyond the foundational certification courses.

The Timer Workshop Wednesdays will be held in a small-group format that prioritizes active participation. Each session focuses on a specific scenario — a particular event type, a configuration challenge, a reporting workflow — and gives timers the chance to ask questions in real time and apply concepts directly to their own events. To preserve the workshop environment, seats are intentionally limited to ten people a workshop. Following each session, timers can schedule one-on-one consultations with a RunSignup specialist for individualized guidance on their specific situations.

A Companion to RunSignup’s Established Timer Certification Program

Timer Workshop Wednesdays expand on RunSignup’s existing investment in timer education. RunSignup currently offers four official Timer Certifications, each delivered as a recorded online course that culminates in an official certification badge:

• RaceDay Scoring Timer Certification
• RaceJoy Timer Certification
• RaceDay CheckIn Timer Certification
• RunSignup Timer Certification

Timers can complete the certification courses on their own schedule and earn the corresponding badge. More information is available at info.runsignup.com/products/raceday/raceday-certification.

The new Timer Workshop Wednesdays serve as a natural next step for certified timers who are ready to apply what they’ve learned to specific event types and harder, edge-case scenarios.

Timer Tip Tuesdays Will Continue

RunSignup’s Timer Tip Tuesdays remain the destination for new feature walk-throughs, general timing topics, and live troubleshooting — covering broader content for the entire timer community. Together, the two series provide a layered education model: general updates, training and broad-coverage Q&A on Timer Tip Tuesdays, and focused, scenario-based skill-building on Timer Workshop Wednesdays.

First Workshop Wednesdays Sessions

The inaugural Workshop Wednesdays series focuses on triathlon timing, one of the most technically demanding event formats:

• June 3 — RaceDay Scoring: Triathlon Basic Setup
• June 10 — RaceDay Scoring: Data Check Reports for Triathlons
• June 24 — RaceJoy Tracking: Triathlon Setup

Each workshop will run live, and seats are limited to maintain the small-group format. Timers can sign up for Workshop Wednesdays here: https://runsignup.com/TicketEvent/WorkshopWednesdays
