• The Winning Time Chip will give you both an official "gun" time as well as an unofficial "Net" time from when you cross over the starting mats.  You and your chip must pass over both mat systems (start and finish) in order to receive your "Net" time.  If your start time is not recorded, you will only receive your "Gun" time.  Due to USAT&F Rule 136, the official order of finish, state, and national records and rankings will be based on gun time.*  As the USAT&F sanctions our race, we abide by this rule and want to point out that "Net" times are unofficial and are for your personal use only.  Website results will be posted with both gun and net times.  Competitive runners seeking to win age group categories are encouraged to position themselves near the front for the best official "Gun" time results.
