Happy cookie hunting, and may the odds be ever in your flavor.


Ruckers Welcomed!

Rucking is a physical activity that involves walking or hiking with a weighted backpack (called a rucksack). The term comes from the military, where soldiers train and operate carrying heavy loads over long distances. In civilian fitness and recreation, rucking is gaining popularity as a versatile and low-impact workout.

Chip Timing and Bib Instructions for Mama K’s Cookie Run

Your race will be chip timed by Silver Circle Sports Events, and the timing chip is conveniently located on your bib. To ensure accurate timing, follow these simple steps for wearing your bib:

Bib-Wearing Guidelines:

🍪 Attach your bib to the front of your shirt: Use safety pins to secure the bib in all four corners for stability.
🍪 Make sure the bib is visible at all times: Don’t cover it with jackets, gear, or anything else. The timing chip needs clear access to record your time.
🍪 Do not fold or crumple the bib: Keep it flat so the chip can work properly.
🍪 Wear your bib on the outermost layer of clothing: If it’s chilly and you’re layering up, make sure your bib is pinned on top of everything.
