You will receive your timing chip at registration on race day and attach it to your ankle with the velcro strap provided.

Your timing chip relates to your bib number so it’s important you don’t swap your chip with anyone who has a different bib number.

Just like adult events, our competitors will start in 3 waves – one for each age group, with the girls, boys, and teams all starting on the age group “gun”. As in championship duathlon events, everyone in each age group will be given the same start time:

0945 - All 11-13 years start

0946 - All 9-10 years start

0947 - All 7-8 years start.

Just like the Olympics we will be awarding first place to the first person and team in each age group to cross the finish line.

As each individual and team will be wearing electronic chips, the individual and team time will be automatically recorded as they cross the finish and we will publish all the times on the web so everyone can see how well they did – a real reward for the tremendous effort everyone has put in leading up to and on the day.

Timing chips are expensive pieces of equipment – buckets will be provided at the end of the race to return chips to. If you lose your chip, you will be charged the $25 cost of replacing the chip.

NOTE FOR TEAMS: as the runner does not cross the finish line after completing their part of the race, only the cyclist needs to wear the timing chip.  This will avoid any potential for disappointment if a timing chip was dropped during a team swap in the transition area.
