IMPORTANT NOTES:

- The race will be timed by Negative Split Event Timing with chip timing. Each participant bib will contain a timing chip stuck to the back of the bib. The timing chip will record your start and finish times based on when you cross the timing mats. Please make sure your bib number is visible and on the outermost layer of your clothing since we record a video back-up in case of any timing issues. Similarly, your bib number is used for photo identification for your race photos.
