Winning Time Partners with Bloomsday for the 3rd Year in a Row

For the third consecutive year, Winning Time will be the official timer of the Lilac Bloomsday Run. On May 4th, as estimated 50,000 participants will have registered for the 32nd edition of the event which takes place in Spokane, Washington. Winning Time’s top timers from around the globe will come together once again to take on one of the world’s largest running races.

“Winning Time has now successfully recorded over 40,000 finishers in our event two years in a row with very few errors”, noted Don Kardong, Race Director of the Lilac Bloomsday Run. “With an event as large as ours, switching to transponder chip timing required many hours of communication and coordination, and Winning Time proved more than up to the task. The Winning Time personnel were extremely professional and a pleasure to work with.”

Keeping in line with the company’s family spirit, Winning Time has put together a strong team composed of some of the best timers from Italy, Canada, and the US. “We are confident that with our experienced timers and proven system, the results will be immediate and flawless as always. Our close relationship with the Bloomsday race staff has made the race preparation and the timing of such a large event run incredibly smoothly” says Julia Vitarello, General Manager and VP of Winning Time Americas.  “We are proud that Winning Time will once again be the timer of one of the world’s most prestigious road races.”
