CHIP TIMING:
CHIP TIMING SYSTEM: This race will be scored by PA Runners using a Chip Timing System. Runners will be issued a computer chip ON RACE DAY (SUNDAY) which should be attached to the shoe lace and worn throughout the race. Special mats at the start and finish lines will record times for each chip. ALL RENTAL CHIPS MUST BE RETURNED AT THE FINISH LINE. THE $25 FEE FOR A LOST CHIP IS THE RUNNER’S RESPONSIBILITY.
RACE BIBS AND TIMING CHIPS: Pin your race bib to the front of your shirt or shorts. Your timing chip may be picked up only on race day Sunday at the chip table AFTER you pick up your race packet. Special ties will be available to attach the chip to your shoe. You must get a chip in order to have an official time. If you do not run with a chip you will not be listed with a time.
Please check the information on your race bib to make sure the information (name, age, sex, etc.) is correct, and be sure the chip number and bib number are the same. Report any corrections to the race director or starting official.
FINISH LINE:
Volunteers will be at the finish line to assist you in removing the timing chip from your shoe. Chips must be removed and given to a finish line volunteer to receive an official time. No one will be allowed to leave the finish line chute until each chip has been removed. Please note: If you fail to remove a chip or if you lose your timing chip, you will be charged a $25 replacement fee.
PORTABLE TOILETS:
Toilets will be at the start and finish line area near the Carousel Pavilion on City Island. Also, toilets will be placed at the Vine Street ramp (just beyond the Comfort Inn in Shipoke). Additional toilets will also be located near the near Division & Front streets (on the riverfront path). These toilets will be available as you run in both directions along the riverfront path and Front St.
WATER STATIONS:
Water stations will be available approximately every 3 miles. You will run by a water station at Vine St. in both directions and another water station around Division St. in both directions. There will be a sport drink available at the Division St. station in both directions.

EMS utility vehicles will be available along the course. A Medical tent will be available near the Finish line on City Island.
