ChronoTrack Timing and Scoring

Transponder timing, operated by Capital Running Company, will be used to score the 5K race. The system uses a computer "tag" which must be tied to each runner's shoelaces. The "tag" records the exact time a runner crosses the starting line and the finish line, resulting in a net time for each runner. The D-tag is disposable. Overall awards will be based upon clock time and age group awards will be based upon transponder times.

ChampionChips CANNOT be used.
