Our Large Red digital timer is a giant LED stopwatch with two big red digits, built for when the whole field needs to see the clock. It counts up to 99 seconds and holds the best time of the session on screen, so there's no clipboard at the finish line and no arguing about who was fastest. A wired remote comes with it, so whoever's running the game can start and stop it without stepping into the race.
What it's for
Sports days and competition events of the timed kind: school sprint finals, relay changeovers, beat-the-clock stall games and knockout challenges at fetes and fun days. It works on exhibition stands too, where the game is beating the best time on the board. If you're putting on a full Sports Day Complete with Compare, the timer hands your compare an instant readout to announce between events, and for fun runs and charity races it pairs with our Start/Finish Gantry.
Keeping score
The Magnetic Topgear Score Leader Board pairs well with it: the timer keeps the times and the board keeps the names, so the standings are there for everyone to see. Need a countdown instead of a stopwatch, for 30-second dash challenges or longer beat-the-clock games? Our Large digital timer/countdown is the same idea with green digits and presets of 30 seconds, 1, 5 and 10 minutes.
Hiring it from us
Like most of what we hire out, this is our own kit, looked after at our 25,000 sq ft warehouse near Rotherham, and it travels on the same vans as the rest of your booking. We're out across Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster, Worksop and Chesterfield every week, and nationwide for bigger events.

You can collect from our main warehouse instead of having it delivered. That needs a deposit and ID, and is worth a quick call to the office on 0114 345 0135 to arrange.
Delivery and power
The timer goes out from our warehouse near Rotherham on the same vans as the rest of our kit, so it can join a bigger booking without a separate run. If your site has no power where you need the display, ask about a generator from our generator range. Full delivery details are on the delivery page, and there's more of this small-but-handy kit in the rest of Event Extras, from festoon lighting to bingo machines.
