Bib-Tag Requirements
Tips on wearing your bib-tag:
Do not forget your bib-tag on race day.
No bib-tag. No time.
Bib-tags are non-transferable and must be worn only by the participant to whom it is assigned.
The bib-tag must be attached to your torso in order for it to be readable.
Do not run with the bib-tag in your hand or any place other than on the front of the torso.
What to do with the bib-tag if you drop out of the race:
Do not cross the finish line with your bib-tag attached to your torso if you drop out of the race. The tag will mistakenly register you as a finisher, causing problems with our results.
If you are forced to cross the finish line. Remove the bib-tag and discard it well before you cross the finish line mats.
If you drop out of the race, stay well away from any timing equipment on the course or at the finish.
If you know at packet pickup that you will not run your event, please return the bib-tag to the registration staff.
The bib-tag is disposable. Look for the recycle bins at the finish line.
