Meeting your Management Needs

Many vendors just show up, but wouldn't be great to have a vendor who is truly there to support your event from start to finish?



Hallucination Sports' Mission is to provide you with the best timing & scoring services, best technology, resources and experience to save you time, increase participation, allow you to have a successful event and enable your participants to have a great experience from start to finish. We are your event partner, never your vendor.



Hallucination Sports can meet all of your event management needs by offering a comprehensive menu of timing and scoring, registration, communications, customer support, and consulting services unsurpassed by running and multi-sport service providers in the United States. Allow us to take your event to new levels.

Join the list: Be a Hero

Inspired by true heroes, including my Mother in-law and my own foundation, I know many events encourage participants to write on what we call a back bib - a blank race bib - words such as "in honor of" or "in Memoriam of" the name of the loved one for whom they are participating. I had the thought, while not original idea, to give participants the ability to create their own custom bib by uploading photos and text to create a very nice looking bib that would be professionally printed and serve as a great keepsake, while also having part of the sale go back to the charity. This is YourBibs.

YourBibs offers event participants to purchase and design their own bib. However, the greatest impact is available through our partner program. In our partner program, YourBibs will design a custom-branded site with two custom back bib templates. For each order by a participant, the charity/event receives $2 back from each $6.99 sale.
