Each timing Chip is equipped with a computer chip and coded specifically to each participant's assigned race number. Make sure that you don't swap chips and when you pick up your race packet you verify that all of your information is correct especially name, age and gender. All timing Chips must be returned at the finish line. If you pick-up your packet and know that you will not be participating, please do not pick up your timing Chip. If you pick up a timing Chip and don't return it you will have five business days to return it to KaleRunning.com, 1211 Buckingham Ave., Norfolk, Va. 23508 (please wrap the timing Chip with padding before mailing). If the timing Chip is not returned or lost, you will be charged a $35 lost/replacement fee. All Chips are scanned after the event for proper return credit by all participants. Race management and results will be provided by Kale Running. Official race results will be posted on www.KaleRunning.com.
