General Information
- ChronoTrack Timing System
The state of the art ChronoTrack systems will be used to record participants’ times at the start, on the course and at the finish. True race times will be recorded from start line to finish line.
The ChronoTrack system uses a disposable tag that allows you to walk away after the finish without the need to have your tag collected. Visit www.chronotrack.com for more information. The ChronoTrack Timing tag is located on the race number and is labeled with a number that matches the race number. Follow the instructions in your registration packet to place the tag securely on your shoe.
At the expo when you pick up your race number, please check that your race has your correct name, sex, age and ChronoTrack Timing tag number. Proceed to the solutions table if any of the information is incorrect.
ChampionChip Timing will NOT be used for Rock ‘n’ Roll Seattle. Your ChampionChip timing chips will not record your time.
