Road Race Services

History

Start To Finish Corporation was founded in 1979 by partners Dwight Blomquist and Constantine Chiger. The idea was to provide a first class race with a minimum of stress. We started immediately with the best equipment possible and today, 1250 races later we are still using the best. Craig Chiger has taken over for his dad, who now wanders around the world in his retirement. We still provide the same service, and a first class race.

August 2001

In August of 2001 we upgraded or timing system to the new and advanced Winning Time Chip System. This system uses the most advanced technology in the business. Each participant wears a small chip on their ankle attached by a velcro strap. When the participant crosses the finish line the timing mats send out a magnetic field which charges the chip and extracts the data from it. ( Similar to the EZ-PASS system used on the highways. )
