Track Start & Finish Equipment

The FinishLynx / Gill Portable Finish Line Camera Mount Pole gives meet timers a stable, adjustable platform for positioning a photo-finish camera at the correct height and angle over the finish line. Portability is the point here: the pole travels easily between venues and sets up quickly, making it the right choice for programs that host meets at multiple tracks or need a temporary finish-line rig that breaks down for storage.

Key features & specs:

• Portable finish-line camera mount designed for FinishLynx photo-finish systems
• Custom height settings so the camera can be aligned precisely to the finish plane
• Durable powder-coat finish that stands up to repeated transport and outdoor meet conditions
• Provides a stable mounting point for accurate, consistent camera placement
• Pairs with FinishLynx EtherLynx camera packages for a complete timing setup

Coach's tip: Set the pole height once for your home track and mark it so your timing crew can re-align the camera in seconds on meet day. Care: Wipe down after wet meets, keep the adjustment hardware clean and lightly lubricated, and store the pole indoors to protect the finish and the camera mount.

Guide runners cleanly through every turn with the Gill Cross Country Directional Flag Pole (Red, Left Turn). Bright, color-coded course flags are the backbone of a well-marked cross country course — this red left-turn flag tells athletes exactly where the course bends so races stay fair, fast, and on route.

Key features & specs:

• Red directional flag pole designating a left turn
• Part of Gill's color-coded course-marking system (red = left, yellow = right, blue = straight)
• High-visibility flag mounts on a course post for clear sightlines
• Pairs with chute posts, chute rope with pennants, and directional posts
• Also available as a complete kit (24 chute posts, two 110' rope lengths, 9 directional flags, 9 directional posts)

Coach's tip: Place turn flags a few strides ahead of each bend and on the inside of the turn so lead runners commit to the correct line. Collect and store flags dry after each meet to protect the fabric color and keep the poles straight.

Award ceremonies deserve a professional setup, and the Gill Victory Podium Cart makes storing and moving your medal stands effortless. It holds a complete eight-piece Victory Podium set in one rolling unit, so your presentation platform is protected between meets and rolls out to the infield in a single trip when it's time to honor your champions.

Key features & specs:

• Holds all 8 Victory Podium stands in one organized cart
• Steel construction with a durable powder-coat finish for long service life
• 8" never-flat rubber casters roll easily over rough terrain and infield surfaces
• Keeps podium pieces together, protected, and ready for the next ceremony

Ideal for meet directors and athletic departments that host invitationals, championships, and awards presentations. Load the stands securely before moving, wipe the cart and casters clean of grit after outdoor use, and store it indoors between events to protect both the finish and your podium set for years of dependable use.

Give your races a classic, clearly visible finish with Gill Finish Line Tape. This bright red foam gauze tape stretches across the finish line so runners and spectators can spot the exact finish point — and so your winner gets that unmistakable moment of breaking the tape. Lightweight and designed to break cleanly, it delivers a crisp finish without slowing or catching the athlete.

Key features & specs:

• Bright red foam gauze for high visibility to athletes, officials, and spectators
• Lightweight and designed to break easily and cleanly at the finish
• Generous 50-yard roll provides tape for many races
• Ideal for track finishes, cross country meets, and road races

An affordable, high-impact touch for meet directors who want a polished, traditional finish line. Tear off a fresh length for each finish and hold it taut across the line, and store the roll in a dry spot away from moisture and crushing so the foam stays intact and ready for the next race.

Accurate marks start with a secure tape, and the Gill Tape Stake Kit gives officials a fast, reliable way to anchor the measuring tape for every throw and horizontal jump. Each stake features a cane that attaches to the end of the tape, so a single official can set the zero point and pull a clean, straight measurement without a second pair of hands.

Key features & specs:

• Cane attaches to the end of the measuring tape to efficiently mark the distance
• Used for all throwing events and all horizontal jumping events
• Speeds up measuring and improves consistency at the sector
• Set of 4 — enough to outfit multiple event areas

A practical, budget-friendly addition to any track and field program's officiating kit. Push the stakes firmly into the ground at the measuring point for a stable anchor, wipe them clean of dirt after muddy meets, and store the set together in your measurement kit so they're ready for the next competition.

Hosting throwing events or marking courses on a turf infield used to mean you couldn't use traditional "stick-in-the-ground" pennant holders. The Gill Turf Chute Post solves that. Its weighted 12 lb base holds a streamer of pennants securely on any turf or hard surface without penetrating the field — keeping participants safely outside active throwing sectors and clearly marking boundaries at in-stadium events and indoor facilities.

Key features & specs:

• Non-invasive design sits on top of turf — no ground penetration required
• Heavy 12 lb base stands up to strong winds
• Holds a streamer of pennants to define safety boundaries around throwing events
• Ideal for turf infields, in-stadium throwing setups, and indoor facilities
• Protects both athletes and expensive turf surfaces

A smart safety upgrade for meet directors and coaches running throws on turf or indoors. Position posts to clearly ring the hazard zone before competition, keep the bases clean, and store the posts together between events so your safety perimeter is quick to set up every time.

Give your cross country finish a clean, professional boundary with Gill Chute Rope and Pennants. Each 110-foot length of rope comes strung with assorted-color pennants that make the finish chute and course edges highly visible to runners at speed — helping channel athletes into an orderly single-file finish and keeping your race organized from the first meet of the season on.

Key features & specs:

• 110' length of chute rope per unit
• Strung with assorted-color pennants for high visibility
• Defines finish chutes, start areas, and course boundaries
• Pairs with Gill 4' chute posts (961) and the Gill Cross Country Kit (960)
• Add multiple lengths to build longer chutes for large invitationals

A low-cost essential for cross country meet directors marking a course each season. String the rope taut between chute posts for a crisp boundary, and after the meet coil it loosely with the pennants attached and store it dry to prevent tangles and keep the pennant colors bright for years of use.

The Gill 4' Chute Post is the building block of a well-organized cross country finish chute. Standing four feet tall, each post anchors the pennant rope that channels runners into a single-file finish lane — keeping the finish orderly, protecting timing and place-judging, and giving your meet a clean, professional look. At just $18 per post, it's an affordable way to build out or expand your course-marking system.

Key features & specs:

• Stands 4' tall — a standard height for cross country finish chutes and course boundaries
• Serves as the mounting post for chute rope and pennants
• Works as an add-on or replacement for the Gill Cross Country Kit (960) system
• Pairs with Gill chute rope and pennants (962) to define finish lanes and course edges

Ideal for cross country meet directors building or expanding a finish chute for larger invitationals. Push posts firmly into the ground for stability on race day, and store them together, clean and dry, between meets so your chute system is ready for the next event.

The Gill 960 Cross Country Kit gives meet directors and coaches a trusted, professional-grade course marking system that sets up efficiently and communicates clearly to competitors on race day. The color-coded directional flag system removes any ambiguity about course turns and direction, while the pennant rope and chute posts create defined finish and transition zones that manage athlete flow from start to finish line.

• 24 Chute Posts — Heavy-duty chute posts create the structural backbone of the finish chute and course boundary sections, providing stable, upright markers that define athlete flow and hold chute ropes securely in position through the full duration of the meet regardless of field conditions or wind
• Two 110' Lengths of Chute Rope with Pennants — Two full 110-foot pennant ropes with multi-colored pennants provide 220 feet of visible, highly visible boundary rope for building finish chutes, start areas, and course boundaries — pennants add high-contrast visual definition that helps runners identify course edges quickly during the race
• 9 Color-Coded Directional Flags — Nine directional flags in three purpose-specific colors communicate course direction clearly to competitors: 3 red flags signal left turns, 3 yellow flags signal right turns, and 3 blue flags signal straight ahead — a universally understood color system that reduces the risk of runners missing course direction changes during fast-paced racing conditions
• 9 Directional Posts — Nine matching directional posts accompany the flags, providing stable, ground-mounted supports that keep directional flags upright and properly positioned at key course decision points throughout the race route regardless of terrain or wind conditions
• Complete Single-Purchase Solution — All components needed for a professionally marked cross country course arrive together in one kit, eliminating the time and cost of sourcing chute posts, directional flags, and pennant ropes separately — ready to deploy for the first meet of the season right out of the package
