IPICO Scoring

The race will be scored using the IPICO electronic timing system. You will pick up your individually-assigned chip with your race packet, and it will be collected immediately upon your completing the race. It is very important that you wear your assigned chip. When you get your runner number bib, check to be sure that all the information on the label (name, address, age, gender) is correct. Please report any errors immediately. Corrections cannot be made after the race has started.Before you go to the starting line, you need to tie your IPICO tag securely to your shoe (your choice which shoe). Be careful not to switch your chip with a friend or family member who might also be running with you. It is very important that you run with the chip that was issued to you. The chip should be secured by running one lace through the chip. Tie it securely, because you will need to return it once you cross the finish line. When you cross the finish line, please keep moving into the recovery area. Do not stop at the finish line or on the mats. Please remove your IPICO tag so you can turn it in. Your tag will be collected as you exit the area. If you need assistance, a volunteer will help you.
