How will my race timing be recorded?
Race timings will be recorded by the B-Tag, an electronic race timing system with accuracy up to hundredth of a second, located behind your race bib.
10km and 21.1km participants will be timed using the B-Tag electronic race timing system.
Timing will not be recorded for the 5km participants.
How do I use my B-Tag?
Please ensure the following in order to receive an accurate time.
- Race bib is clearly visible on the front of the torso.
- Race bib is unaltered and unmodified. (Do not fold or wrinkle)
- Race bib is pinned in all four corners.
- Race bib is not covered. (jackets, runner belts, water bottles, etc.)
How can I access my personal race results after the event?
Participants will be granted access to their personal race results (Gun Time and Chip Time), as captured by the timing system on the race website 48 hours after the last cut-off time.
"Gun Time" (still officially accepted by the IAAF as the valid mode of measuring running time) includes whatever distance you had covered before you actually reached the start line. Official results are based on the Gun Time, i.e. prize rankings are according to the Gun time.
The Chronotrack electronic race timing system eliminates that major issue of inaccurate timing and gives you your "Net Time".
What if I am injured during the race or otherwise unable to finish the race?
First aiders will be deployed along the route. Participants who are in need of immediate attention can also alert the route marshals.
There will also be sweeper vehicles to pick up runners who are injured or unable to complete the race and take them to the End point.
