Don't Lose Your Timing Chip in Des Moines
The 2006 IMT Des Moines Marathon events are electronically timed using the ChampionChip system. "Net/chip" times will be recorded as the athlete official course time. The chip time begins once it crosses the start line and will record time until it crosses the finish line mat.
As a result, regardless of where you are lined up at the starting line, your official time will not begin until you cross the start line. Timing is provided by Accu-Split.
Timing mats will be placed at the start, mile 13.1 and finish line. Clock locations are 5K, 10K, Halfway, 30K, 40K & the finish line.
You will be charged $80.00 for timing chips and/or chip straps that are not returned.
Ouch!
