What is the ChronoTrack Timing System and how does it work?

The Papa John's 10 Miler continues to offer the latest in race timing technology, the ChronoTrack Timing System, for 2010.

The ChronoTrack Timing System allows for the use of disposable tags called D-Tags. The D-Tag is easy to attach to your shoe and is far lighter and less intrusive than other timing tags and chips. Once the D-Tag is attached to your shoe, you will quickly forget that it is even there. A disposable tag eliminates the need for you, the athlete, to worry about turning your chip in after the race.

The ChronoTrack Timing System will be distributed with your race number at the Late Registration/Packet Pickup on April 2nd and on Race Day. Race Timing and Runners Services are performed by Gault Race Management.
