RFID Marathon Bibs for Real-Time Race Tracking
RFID Marathon Bibs are ultra-light, disposable UHF RFID tags designed for large-scale sporting events such as marathons, triathlons, and military or school competitions. These tags are attached directly to the athlete’s bib (number cloth), enabling quick and reliable tracking without the need for separate RFID wristbands or wearable devices.
With a stable reading range and compatibility with high-volume participant environments, RFID bib tags streamline race-day logistics, reduce manual intervention, and increase timing accuracy—delivering a seamless and professional experience for both athletes and event organizers.
