15th ANNUAL RUN FOR HOPE

Chip timing will be used for all races. Results will be posted online at time2run.net, meridianathletic.com, bonitarunningclub.com and runningintheusa.com.

Runners times will be immediately available at the finish line truss on an overhead digital clock.

There will be one finish zone. Runner’s number must be visible throughout the race. Failure to pass through the Finish Chute or have a number pinned to the FRONT of your shirt or shorts unobstructed from view of the official race timer will result in your disqualification from the event and you will not be counted in the results.

All runners who cross the finish line must go through the chute to the end. Stay in line once in the chute. DO NOT LEAVE THE CHUTE EXCEPT THROUGH THE OFFICIAL EXIT unless for medical emergency. Failure to stay in the chute to the end could result in you not being counted in the results.
