Chips

The co-ed 5K run will use electronic chips to promote faster and more accurate results. Start mats will be used for chip timing, so that runners can see their times accurately from start to finish. However, overall results and awards will be based on gun times. Finish time will be calculated precisely when you cross the finish line. Chips can be picked up at Packet Pick Up or at Race Day registration. Any participant who does not return the chip at the finish line will be charged $30.
