Race Management Solutions

What Race Management Solutions does

Race Management Solutions is a family-owned race timing and event management company headquartered in Youngstown, New York, operating primarily across Western New York. The company provides end-to-end services for road races, charity runs, school events, and community 5K, 10K, and half-marathon events, with a customer base composed almost exclusively of nonprofit organizations, schools, local government entities, and community groups.

The company's core technology stack combines Jaguar RFID Chip Timing hardware from Innovative Timing Systems with the ITSYourRace online registration and results platform, enabling consolidated timing, registration, and participant data management for event organizers. A distinguishing operational asset is a custom-built mobile command center and finish line trailer equipped with redundant timing backup systems designed to exceed the reliability of typical competitor setups.

RMS generates revenue on a quote-based, per-event professional services model, with no disclosed subscription or recurring contract structure. Pricing is bespoke for each event based on scope, distance, and service requirements. The business is led by the Beatty family, including founder Paul Beatty, whose prior experience as a producer of The Amazing Race television finale informs operational design. Forward visibility is supported by an active event calendar extending through 2026, with recent diversification into cycling events and craft beer / music festivals signaling modest expansion beyond traditional foot-race formats.

Direct peers

• RunSignup: A leading online race registration and timing platform serving thousands of road races across the U.S. Comparable to RMS as both provide race directors with registration and event management technology, though RunSignup is a national platform while RMS is a regional service operator layered on top of similar technology.
• Race Roster: North American race registration and timing platform with end-to-end event management for road races, marathons, and endurance events. Comparable to RMS as both serve race directors needing registration, timing, and results delivery.
• JJ Systems Timing: Regional race timing and event management services company using electronic chip timing for road races and endurance events. Directly comparable to RMS in service model, customer base, and geographic operating approach.

Emerging players

• Athlinks: Race results and athlete database platform serving the endurance running community. Comparable to RMS as both sit in the road race results and event services ecosystem, though Athlinks focuses on results aggregation rather than on-site timing.
