ChronoTrack Timing Tags

The Gasparilla Distance Classic Association is once again proud to lead the pack in offering to its runners and walkers the latest in timing technology.

In 2011, race participants will be timed utilizing the ChronoTrack Timing & Tracking System developed and designed with RFID – radio frequency identification. Much like the ChampionChip Timing System when it was introduced, the ChronoTrack Timing & Tracking System will dramatically improve overall efficiency and the participant’s experience.

Here’s how it works. The technology is woven into a tag that will be placed on the back of each runner’s bib/race number. That's all there is to it.  The runner WILL NOT be required to affix the Timing Tag to their shoe.  

Like with the ChampionChip Device, transponder pads at the Start, Finish and along the race course will record the participant’s time at each location in preparation for Race Day Results. Post-Race, each participant will receive both their Start Time and Chip Time, as well as any splits that were recorded.

At the Finish Line, there will be no chip removal…no back-ups...the runners and walkers will cross the Finish Line…revel in what they’ve just accomplished…be given their Finisher’s Medal and then head to the Q105 Post-Race Celebration!

  The Gasparilla Distance Classic Association and City

of Tampa are proud to be a part

of the Florida 15K Challenge
