Race Chip Timing :

Same as the GLCL XC Series, the 2022 GLCL Road Races are chip timed. 

All competitors MUST wear their bib number and timing chip. 

No timing chip means no result and no points scored !

Runners who had timing chips for the GLCL XC Series should use the same timing chips. Runners who have not previously had a GLCL timing chip will be allocated a new timing chip. Timing chips have been ordered by each club and will be handed out by a club representative before the race.
