The Story
Breakaway Timing is a Utah-based race timing company founded by a cyclist, racer, and timing technician with a passion for getting every split right.
We specialize in photo finish timing using FinishLynx — the industry standard used at Olympic and world championship events. Every finish line moment is captured with frame-accurate precision, giving race directors and athletes confidence in every result.
For events that need chip-based lap tracking or large-field mass starts, we offer additional RFID timing options using Impinj R420 readers. Whether your event needs photo finish only or a full chip timing setup, we have the equipment to match.
Breakaway Timing is the official timing partner for the UTCX cyclocross series, one of Utah's most competitive and well-attended cycling circuits. We've also timed mountain bike races at Soldier Hollow, Corner Canyon, and venues across the state.
What sets us apart is a commitment to real-time results. Live data pushes to the web automatically as riders finish, so athletes, coaches, and spectators get instant access without waiting for manual exports or post-race spreadsheets.
Beyond timing, we race XC mountain bike competitively in Utah — so when we set up at a venue, we understand the course, the athlete experience, and what matters to the people crossing that line.
