Timing and Scoring - Chip timing will be provided by To the Finish, LLC. The timing chip will be on the bib and is disposable. It will not need to be returned after the race. The chips interact with sensor mats at the start, finish and various locations along the course to provide an actual time. Each participant must wear a race-issued chip in order to receive an official time.

All results will be posted at http://www.tothefinishtiming.com/results.html, on the event web page and on our Facebook page.
