Complete the medical and emergency information on the back of the bib number. Pin your bib number on the front of your shirt. Do not give your number to another runner, even if you are unable to run. Race Timing The race will be timed using the ChronoTrack B-Tag timing system. Your race number contains a transponder (timing chip) which is read by an antenna located in a mat on the ground at the start and finish lines. Your time will be recorded beginning when you cross the start mat and ending when you cross the finish mat. It is important that all runners wear the race number pinned in all four corners, unwrinkled, and uncovered, to insure recording an accurate time. All recorded times will be listed in the race results on the jpmorgan.com/cc website. B-tags are disposable. You may deposit your bib number in one of rubbish bins near the finish. Should you forget your race number and timing chip on race night, please visit the Information Tent from 5.00p.m. Should you lose your race number during the race, please speak to a timing official at the end of the race to ensure that an accurate time can be recorded. Race Start A wave start will be used to begin the race. Runners will be assigned a particular colour bib number depending on their estimated finish time. Runners should line up in the start area that corresponds to the colour of their bib number. This will ensure the race runs smoothly and will be a more enjoyable experience for all. Please follow the directional signage to your start area. See the site map for the start area locations. All runners must start the race on time. The start line will be closed 10 minutes after the last wave leaves the start. Company Gathering Area Your Company Captain will notify you of your team’s meeting area prior to race night.
