Race Timing (2019)
The Cook Medical Beat the Heat 5K race will have chip recorded start and finish times. Results will be posted for both clock time and chip time, with the latter used for age group awards. The chip times are recorded by means of the RFID chip mounted on your numbered race bib.
In order to receive an accurate time, please wear your race bib as follows:
- Clearly visible on the front of the torso
- Unaltered and unmodified (Do not fold or wrinkle)
- Pinned in all four corners
- Not covered (jackets, fuel belts, etc.)
The USATF 5K Championship race will have a "gun start" and chip timed finish. All men and women competitors will have a start time that matches the race start time, and a finish time recorded as each runner crosses the finish line.
The One Mile Fun Run will have a clock at the finish line, but individual times are not recorded for this event.
Timing services will be provided by Twin City Track Club.
Twin City Track Club is a member organization of both the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA) & USA Track & Field (USATF) and adheres to the guidelines and rules of competition in the events Twin City Track Club conducts & provides.
