Event Highlights

ChampionChip Timing

This year’s results will be tabulated by The Runner’s High using the ChampionChip Timing System. On race day, runners will be issued a rental computer chip which is attached to the shoe lace and worn throughout the race. Special mats at the finish line will record a finishing time for each chip. All chips must be returned at the finish line. A $35 fee will be charged if the chip is not returned. Chips must be picked up on race day; chips will not be issued before race day.
