What's the story on the timing chips?

We understand there have been some questions on the timing chips. Our goal for everyone is accurate finish times.

If you don't wear your tag on your shoe and bib in front you won't get a time. We also want to know you finished so you can see your time following the race and on the website!

Only finishers wearing their own assigned Rotary timing tag on their shoe or bib will be timed and eligible for awards.

To keep things fair we do not list runners who do not finish the entire course or wear someone else's bib and timing tag.
