MC Sport — announcing & timing on the ground

MC Sport supports organizers who want smooth, professional, and memorable events by combining athlete-focused announcing with high-level timing.

From running to mountain biking, along with road, gravel, HYROX, or triathlon. MC Sport integrates with your team so the technical side and the atmosphere push in the same direction.

MC Sport leadership & team

Who’s behind MC Sport?

MC Sport is led by Mikaël Côté, announcer and timing lead on regional, provincial, and national events, supported by a team that shares the same vision of sport and service.

MC Sport’s strength is understanding both the technical requirements of timing, the expectations of federations, and the real-world reality of organizers who juggle volunteers, courses, schedules, and last-minute surprises.

MC Sport was born from a simple idea: offer a service where the precision of timing and the impact of great announcing go hand in hand—with a structured, accessible, and deeply human approach.

Whether it’s your first edition or an established series, the goal stays the same: help you deliver an event you’re proud of—one that participants want to return to year after year.
