What we do

Timers who have stood in the corral.

Red Dirt started in 2010. Ben Sigle and Trey Vernon, who also own Manhattan Running Company, wanted events they would be proud to enter. We still time hundreds of races a year, from a hometown 5K to a series weekend.

  • Running

    Road, trail, and fun-run fields. Chip timing, splits, and a finish that does not make people wait for a clipboard.

  • Cycling and gravel

    Bike tags and matless splits for gravel and road events where a ground mat is the wrong tool.

  • Mountain bike

    Festival weekends and MTB races, timed so the result is up while people are still at the finish.

  • Track and cross country

    FinishLynx photo-finish and AthleticLIVE scoring for meets, with a link coaches can open from the stands.

Events we've worked with
