BIB NUMBER REQUIREMENTS
- All registered runners will receive a bib number that must be worn on race day. If you are not wearing your bib during the race, you will be considered a bandit runner and will be escorted off the course.
- The bib must be visible and worn on the front outside of all clothing during the entire race.
- Please fill in the necessary medical and emergency contact information on the back of the bib number. Use a pen or waterproof marker.
- Do not alter the bib in any way.
- Bib numbers are non-transferable and must be worn by the registrant to whom they have been assigned.
TIMING INFO
- Set-Up Events will provide the results with the use of the Champion Chip timing system and software.
- All registrants will receive a chip that must be worn on the shoe in order to be timed. The chip needs to be attached to your shoe; otherwise, the timing mats will not be able to record the time.
- Awards for the overall winners will be based on start time; age category winners will be determined by chip time.
- Chip times will be used for your official running time and on your certificate of race completion.
- Participants who own their own Champion Chip must provide this information when registering and then verify at packet pickup.
- Fasten the chip with the strip provided with the chip.
- Chip is non-transferable and must be worn only by the participant to whom it is assigned.
- Do not lose the chip. A $35 replacement fee will be charged to any participant who fails to return the chip at the finish line. A volunteer will offer to help you remove the chip at the finish line.
- If you forget to turn in a chip, return it to the Blue Ridge Marathon office within one week to avoid a charge.
