race time

Heat's official clock

Race time is the official duration a competitor takes to complete a race, measured from start to finish.

In events with staggered starts, race time may differ from clock time: Her race time was 3:42:15, a personal best.

Race time can also mean the scheduled start of a race: Race time is 2 PM.
