Points of Interest
We will be using the IPICO Chip Timing System - a chip that is attached to the runner's shoe. There will be a bullpen area at the finish of the race where water will be available and chips will be collected. If coaches have runners that do not run or do not finish the race, they must turn in the numbers for those athletes at the registration area. Schools will be charged $10 each for missing chip. Runners will also wear a bib number on the front of their singlet that matches their chip number.Coaches are asked to please cooperate in advance by:
