In an effort to produce quicker and more accurate results, the Sportshoe Center Maine Marathon/Relay/Half Marathon will again be using the Winning Time chip timing system this year in partnership with Bay State Racing Services.
Registration: At registration you will be given an envelope containing your assigned bib number and corresponding computer chip. Both of these items are to be worn throughout the entire race. The envelope is printed with important instructions for proper chip use. If you register for the race but decide not to participate, please return your chip to registration or finish line volunteers.

Chips: The computer chip comes attached to an adjustable Velcro band. DO NOT REMOVE THE CHIP FROM THE BAND. The band must be worn around your ankle for the entire event. All chips MUST be returned to us once you cross the finish line.
Timing: Special mats will be placed at the finish line. You must cross over the mats to receive accurate times. IF YOU DO NOT WEAR THE CHIP OR DO NOT CROSS OVER THE MATS, YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A TIME. All awards will be given according to official gun time because USAT&F currently only recognizes official gun time for records, rankings, etc. |
