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 2012, race participants will be timed utilizing the ChronoTrack B-Tag Timing System, developed and designed with RFID – radio frequency identification. Much like the ChampionChip Timing System when it was introduced, the ChronoTrack B-Tag Timing System will dramatically improve overall efficiency and the participant’s experience.
Here’s how it works. The technology is woven into two tags 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.
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 back-ups...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!
