Timing

We will be using the ChronoTrack “B” Tag Timing System. The B Tag is attached to the back of your bib, eliminating the fussing with your shoe laces. Racers cross Timing Mats at the Start and Finish to give you both an official “Gun” time as well as the unofficial “Net” time from when you cross the start mats. For the B Tag to work, it must be pinned on your outermost layer of clothing on your front and NOT folded or wrinkled.

You, and your B Tag, must pass over both mat systems (start and finish) in order to receive your “Net” time. If your start time is not recorded, you will only receive your “Gun time”.

The official order of finish for the first three male and female finishers will be based on “Gun” time. For all but these 6 finishers, we will use “Net” times for official order of finish.

The USAT&F does accept “Net” times for rankings for masters runners (40 and over). However, it is unclear if they will accept “Net” times for other age groups. Web site results on cbhm.com will be posted in both “Gun” time order as well as “Net” time order.

FINISH LINE~ Dewey Field in Quechee Vermont

Return to Parking Lot for your car—please use the FREE Buses Back to Quechee Village Lot-Runners can board buses to be transported up the hill from the Finish Line to where you parked your car pre-race.

Note: TAKE THE BUSES-This is the SAFEST WAY to get back to your car!

What Your Registration Fee Does-Over $2 Million Donated to Our Communities

The Covered Bridges Half Marathon was first run in 1992. Race founder David Cioffi and a group of community members got together to create a half marathon along some of the best running routes around Woodstock, Vermont. Each year since 1992, we have about 2000 runners participating in our 13.1 run, the first Sunday in June.
Our runners support our local race communities through a portion of their race registration.

Finisher Medals are given to each runner as they cross the finish line.

Awards
Our awards for the top 3 overall men and women are based on GUN time (first to reach the finish line). Then we remove these 6 runners from the age divisions and those age divisions are determined by NET time (also called CHIP time which is finish time minus start time).
