All athletes will be issued a Winning Time chip with an Ankle Band at registration. The chip will give an official time for the event; provided the athlete wears the chip correctly. The chip must pass over the mats at each transition area in order to receive a time. Participants consent to Internet posting of the entry list as well as race results. Participants must return chip upon finishing the race (or via mail should you forget to turn it in), otherwise participant will be billed $25! Manual timing will be performed using traditional methods if the chip system is unavailable/ non-operable on race day.
