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 2010, 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 each runner’s bib/race number. On Race Morning or at the time of Packet/Number Pick-up, the runner will peel the tag off and lace it on to their shoes.
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.
That’s all there is to it. 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! |
