THE TIME CREW

With about 40 part-time event help elitefeats has a core team that makes things go round; The Time Crew. We are jacks of many trades and each is a master of some. Doing whatever is needed to make sure the "Show Goes On" we are passionate about events.

If elitefeats had a CEO he would be it - but more often than not he is the guy who takes the most difficult jobs. He drives a lot of the creative content for the company, collaborating with the team on ideas and concepts. He is in charge of marketing, event directing and oversees the timing teams. No matter the event, whether it is a fully produced program or just a timed 5K, Brendan is involved with the details.

Long Island born and raised, she's timed in more states than anyone else on the team at 9 so far. She has solo-timed everything from a Mile to a Marathon. She is in charge of our online registration platform and creating all of our artwork; race bibs, photo banners, Facebook/Instagram content and more. If you like the way something looks it's probably Jen who did that. If you don't like the way something looks, it was also Jen who did that.

Also native to the Island, pulling on decades of programming experience he is the wizard of our result platform, turning ideas into reality. When he is not busy coding he is in the field timing races or working with the team to come up with new ideas. Do you like our quick photo upload process or athlete search option? Larry is the man who made that happen. Focused and in the zone at an event, when he is driving a timing laptop you know you're in good hands. Not a runner but if you're ever on the local bike trails, look out for him on his Mountain Bike.

Everyone on the team is expected to wear many hats but Joe sort of changes his a couple times a day. He handles all permitting, police approval and any "odd job" that comes our way. He takes point on making sure everything is stocked and loaded for all the events we work with on the weekends. He coordinates staffing & volunteer coordination for our events. Apparently, he is double right-handed because he is our teams' right-hand guy so often. Did we also say he is one heck of a timer?

As event director and event production logistical lead, Nick's love for events is infectious. Nick sets up the events we produce and works to make sure they go off without a hitch. With a drive to be part of all event services, he will even be seen timing races. If you ever need help setting up an event Nick is the guy you want there. Nick also flexes pretty impressive fundraising chops. Full disclosure: if you are ever hanging around Nick during an event you may end up in a selfie with him.

Unique Registration

Sit back and relax.
Lots of companies say they make a custom registration page but let's face it, sticking your race logo on their site is not quite as unique as you'd hoped right? Well, we design it to look and feel like your race.

• Sponsor logos embedded with links on the registration page & confirmation emails - Great for local sponsors' sites.
• Want a beach theme? No problem!
• Decide it should look like your website? You got it.

Event Marketing & Event Growth

Unlike other timing companies we cost much less than what we charge.

It all starts with getting word out about your event. With elitefeats our marketing is driven to increase participants, so we offset our timing costs from the additional registrations: win-win!

In just the last year our marketing has generated tens of thousands of dollars in registrations and donations for events and here is how:

• We setup custom event branded Facebook event pages and co-host with your event staff so they target people associated with the cause while we attract local runners.
• We include your event on sponsored Facebook ads targeting market segmented users so a little money can go a long way!
• We provide custom made email blasts sent to your list of past participants and our following of runners who race in your area. Our marketing team creates emails that avoid spam filters, go out at the right time of day/week and with subject lines/content that don't put people to sleep.

Want to add in a sponsor logo to any of the marketing campaigns? No problem!

Our marketing team is effective through targeting cut offs on t shirts/swag, price increases in registration and registration cut off dates. We want to talk to you about a custom marketing plan that will work for your event, when works best for you?

Customized Race Swag

Why deal with more vendors?

Bibs are complimentary.

No need to be pestered with designing them yourself - pretty sure you have enough on your plate already. Send us your logos and our team will get a mock up to you ASAP. We work with you to only print as many as you need for your event but if you have a record turnout, no worries! Our team comes prepared with extra bibs to handle that happy problem of extra runners.

Need shirts and don't want to deal with the hassle of shopping around for the best price/quality? Ask us for a quote! We work with a number of vendors to get your athletic apparel on time, in style and under budget.

Our reputable network of screen printers insure you get the best price and whether it is a hoodie, a tech t or classic cotton we make sure you get the best quality too.
