Timing

The Sony Ericsson City of Oaks Marathon and Rex Healthcare Half Marathon will be using the timing services of LIN-MARK Computer Sports, Inc., utilizing the Winning Time computer chip timing system to accurately time the races and quickly provide day-of-race results. No other timing chip may be worn. A timing band and race number will be issued to all race participants in their entry packet. You must wear the timing band on your ankle during the race to receive your finishing time. Your assigned race number must be worn for visual personal identification while on the course. All participants will receive their gun time and chip time for the race they complete. Any participant not returning their issued timing chip at the end of the event will be charged a $20 chip replacement fee.
