September 23, 2025

ATLANTA/ORLANDO (September 2025) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – MYLAPS Sports Technology and Track Shack Events are excited to collaborate in bringing BibTag technology to events in Orlando and across Florida.

Track Shack Events, based in Florida, is a nationally recognized event management and timing company that oversees some of the state’s largest and most celebrated running events. In 2026, Track Shack will begin to implement MYLAPS BibTag timing technology across their event portfolio.

BibTag technology – the standard in mass-participation event timing

MYLAPS, a Garmin® company, is the pioneer of automatic sports timing, powering events at every level – from World Marathon Majors to thousands of local community races worldwide. To ensure their participants receive the most reliable and accurate race experience possible, Track Shack has chosen MYLAPS BibTag technology.

MYLAPS BibTag technology features lightweight and cost-effective chips with a 99.8% detection rate. 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.

Creating the ultimate experience

“Our goal has always been to create meaningful and memorable race experiences for every participant,” said Jon Hughes, co-owner at Track Shack Events. “As our events continue to grow, collaborating with MYLAPS ensures we can deliver world-class timing to each event.”

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 Track Shack, and 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.”
