How will I be timed?
The 1/2 marathon run uses an electronic timing system that records race time and place via a transponder tag, which is initially attached to a runner’s race number and will need to be transferred to each individual's shoe. Each individual competing in the 1/2 marathon is required to place the tag on their shoe. Official times will not be recorded without a tag.

The timing tag will be provided to participants at registration and will be attached to their race number to be transferred to a running shoe on race day.
How will I receive my results?
Official results will be posted on the Web site on race day and each finisher/team that provided a valid e-mail address will be e-mailed their results.
Can I use my own race chip or tag rather than utilizing the one that is provided?
No, for this year's race, we are not equipped to utilize individuals’ personal chips or tags.
What if I need help along the way?
A top-notch team of emergency medical professionals provides assistance along the race course. Mobile care and communications units will be located at the start and finish lines, as well as, on the course.

or baby stroller, or can my child bring their scooters/skateboards?
Sorry, as much as we like pets and children, the safety of participants is our main concern. Therefore, we do not allow pets, baby strollers, stakeboards or scooters on the course.
What do I do with my personal items while I’m running?
