All registered participants will receive a
goody bag and Mizuno DRYSCIENCE tech shirt!
These are short-sleeve, unisex-sized technical shirts and are available in XS
- XL. Please select carefully as shirt sizes and quantities are fixed and we
are unable to exchange shirt sizes.
Timing
New in 2009! The Ravenswood Run is using the latest in race timing technology, the Chronotrack D-Tag system. Benefits include:
- the same accurate timing featured with a traditional chip system (from the point you cross the start line to the finish line)
- D-Tags are distributed on individual BIB numbers, eliminating the need to pick up your timing chip on race morning
- D-Tags are for a one time use and will not be collected at the Finish Line
- they are recyclable (see below)
All race bib numbers will come with an attached individual D-Tag timing strip. Timing strips must be removed from the bib and secured to the shoe as described in the instructions on the tag. Click the following link to view a video on how to attach your D-Tag: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F53KwQ5gVtM
Participants must cross the start and finish line with the D-tag secured to their shoe in the proper "D formation" to receive an official finish time. D-Tags are for a one time use and will not be collected at the finish. You may recycle your D-Tag after the race by dropping it into a marked receptacle located at the Packet Pick-Up tent.
