To ensure your timings are captured whenever you reach the 2.6km mid point & at the end of every 4km lap at the main event site, please ensure you wrap the timing chip band around 1 of your ankles securely.
NOTE:
- The timing band should not be passed to another person to run the lap for you. That will be cheating & you will be disqualified.
- The timing chip/band is to be returned to the Timing staff from Checkpoint Spot after you have decided to finish/stop. Please do not bring the timing chip/band back with you. If you do not return it, you will be asked to pay a fee of S$80.00.
- There will be a screen/monitor at the Timing booth located at the main event site where you can view the number of laps you've completed and the time taken. If you discover that the system did not capture your lap/time, please inform the Timing staff immediately.
- You may wish to put some lubrication around the ankle or wear higher length socks/calf sleeves if you're afraid the band may cause some abrasion.
