The event will be chip timed. The "chip" is actually a tag attached to the back of the race bib. Unlike shoe chip tags, there are no special instructions for the bib tag.  They do not have to be looped a specific way, nor is there possible runner mishandling that can compromise RFID timing.  ​​Notes about wearing your chipped bib:

• Bibs need to be worn to ensure race timing.  If you do not wear a bib, you do not receive a time.

• Bibs should be worn on the front of the body.

• Please attach your bib to your shorts or leggings so that it is visible to anyone observing and is not covered by any other clothes layers or any race belts.

• Bibs should not be crumpled up and placed inside runner's clothing.

• Do not take the foam cover off your bib chip.

• If you do not have a chip on the back of your bib, find the race timer by the start/finish early race day morning to get a new bib.

​

Notes about race timing:

• Overall placement and awards will be based on gun time for results.

• ​Failure to register on multiple timing mats or incredibly inconsistent timing splits between timing mats may result in investigation and potential disqualification. The same is true for those not registering in the written rosters of check-ins at aid stations or inconsistent or unreasonable splits from one aid station to another.

• ​There may be at least one timing mat besides the one at the start/finish somewhere out on the race course. We will not be announcing the locations of all of these mats.

• ​If you find you inadvertently go off course or take a wrong turn, you must return to where you left the course before continuing. If you cut a loop short and realize it, immediately notify volunteers to go find the race officials so a determination can be made as to how to help you complete the full distance.

• Those not following the course will risk disqualification.
