All bib numbers must be clearly visible on the front of participants at all times during the race.

The above is included in the race waiver that each participant must sign.  These rules are in place due to our RRCA Insurance Policy.  Therefore, we must ask that all participants obey all of these and any other rules.

 

Bib Timing Information   -- based on RFID technology, the chip enclosed in the pouch on the back of your bib will positively identify YOU and your elapsed TIME as you run through the finish gate at the finish line. Please remember several things about this chip:

  1. Leave the chip in the pouch until you finish the race.
  2. Attach the bib to the front of your shirt, using 4 safety pins and the 4 holes at the corners of your bib.
  3. Do NOT fold the bib and chip.
  4. Do NOT pin the bib to the side of your shirt or shorts.
  5. As you leave the corral area after passing the finish line, slip your bib chip out of the pouch and deposit it into one of the recycle bins in the finish area.

Thanks for your participation in this event and your cooperation in the proper handling of the chip assigned to you.
