Chip Timing
Racing Systems, Inc. times the 5K run, using disposable Chronotrack D-Tags.
To be included in the results and eligible for an award, you must wear your D-Tag properly on your shoe. Your D-Tag will be attached to your bib when you pick it up with your packet. Remove it and follow the instructions printed on the tag itself. It's important that you only bend the D-Tag in the proper place. Bending it across the chip will disable it, and it won't be read when you start or finish. Here are additional instructions with pictures.
