How does chip timing work?

Each athlete will wear a chip that transmits data to the receiving antenna when the athlete crosses a timing mat. We will will utilize the ChampionChip system to score the race.

Can I keep my Chip?

NO, the chips must be turned in at the end of the race. Volunteers will be at the finish line to help with removal. Participants will be charged $35 for unreturned chips.

Where do I wear the chip?

A neoprene strap is used to strap the chip to your ankle. You will be given a band when you pick-up your rental chip.

Do I need to wear the chip for the entire race?

Yes, timing mats will be set up to record splits for each leg and transition. If you do not have the chip on when you cross the finish line you are not guaranteed a finish time.

Do relay teams get three chips?

No. Relay teams get one chip that has to be used by the swimmer, the biker and the runner.
