Behind the scenes of the Zevenheuvelenloop
The NN Zevenheuvelenloop is one of the biggest running events in Europe with over 25,000 participants. This famous event is a super fast road race over 15 km in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. The 2018 edition was timed with no less than 16 timing points, with splits after each kilometer. Spectators could follow their favorite runners using the LiveTracking feature in the EventApp.
Record breaking timing system
The BibTag system can be used for all kinds of mass sports events. From Sunday morning runners to the fastest people on this planet, like Joshua Cheptegei breaking the world record in Nijmegen. This man from Uganda needed only 41:05 minutes to win the race over 7 hills.
