Chip timing
Chip timing will be used for the KUS 6/12/24 Hour Run. Your race bib is also your chip for timing purposes. You will get your bib on race day/night.
Do not bend or remove the timing chip from the back of the bib number.
Wear your bib as you start the race and attach it to the outside of any clothing, so the number is on the front and visible at the finish line.
Important: you DO need to cross the timing mat at 8:00am (or 8:00pm) at the start of the first lap of your corresponding race start time.
Once you have completed your event, remove your bib and place it inside your vehicle to prevent it from inadvertently calculating additional laps.
