Beirut Marathon Association

As an Electronic Timing Coordinator with the Beirut Marathon Association (BMA), I was responsible for the end-to-end management of race timing data and the accurate generation of official race results using data captured from MyLaps electronic timing systems. The role required close coordination between timing hardware, race management software, and Microsoft SQL Server databases to ensure data accuracy, reliability, and timely delivery of results across multiple race events.

My responsibilities included preparing and validating runner data prior to each event, ensuring participant records were complete, consistent, and correctly structured for ingestion into the race timing system. I designed and maintained the race database architecture using Microsoft SQL Server, including the development of result queries and analytical logic to support rankings, split times, pace calculations, and overall race statistics.

I was also responsible for configuring and setting up the race management software in alignment with the official race plan, course layout, and timing checkpoints. During live events, I actively monitored race timing operations and troubleshot any timing or data-related issues in real time to prevent inaccuracies or result delays. Following each event, I generated the official race results and comprehensive race statistics, ensuring correctness before publication.

In addition to operational delivery, I evaluated each race from a technical and data perspective, documenting challenges, system limitations, and process gaps encountered during the event. I produced structured reports outlining key milestones and lessons learned, contributing to continuous improvement of race timing accuracy, system reliability, and overall event execution for future races.
