We use a disposable chip timing tag for the 5K that is attached to the back of the race bib. It is lightweight and is covered by a foam strip. It must remain attached to the race bib. Runners MUST wear their race bibs on the front of their clothing in order to be timed accurately. The bib cannot be covered, holding it in your hand or putting it in your pocket will NOT read the chip. Do not bend the chip. If you have received a bid as part of your packet pickup, please keep it and we will reuse it for October 29th.
