Timing
Timing Chip
When you register online, a personalized timing chip is automatically assigned to your registration. The chip is attached to the back of your race bib and is used to record your finishing time. To ensure your time is recorded correctly, you must cross the timing mats located at both the start and finish arches.
Results
Each runner's results will display two times: Official Time (bold): The time elapsed from the official race start until the runner crosses the finish line. This time determines the official rankings. Net Time: The time elapsed from the moment the runner crosses the start timing mat until they cross the finish line. Any difference between the two times reflects the time it may take runners to reach the start line after the official race starts due to the number of participants.
