OTHER INFO


RACE NUMBER / TIMING CHIPS

No number/chip = no result for you (don't start without one)

 

Wear the number most recently allocated - if you use an old one you find at home and it's not currently registered to you, you will not appear in the results

 

Please make sure you do not hold your hand over your number/chip when you cross the finish line - hold arms to side or above your head. You may not get registered by the system and the backup video at the finish will not record your number.

 

Please do not get close to the timing equipment (finish) once you've been through the finish once. Repeated 'pings' slow down the results system

 

Please do not take unused chips (from runners who are not running) close to the finish.... otherwise those not attending will appear in the results.
