Timing and Awards
Timing results for the 5K & 10K participants are based on chip times. Chip times start when you actually cross the start mat and end when you cross the finish mat. You must be wearing your BIB to receive a time.  Please note that you should wear your bib in an area on your front that is least impacted by sweat and moisture.  They timing chips are highly sensitive to both.     

 Runners and walkers will be timed based on the event that they are registered for.  If you decide to switch courses in the middle of the run, you will be timed on the event as registered.  You can change your event designation at the registration center prior to the race start only.  Post race changes and adjustments will not be made.
