EVENT TIMING

The PowerKids Duathlon and the Presidential One Mile Run are all timed using AMB timing. 

 

Each athlete is given a transponder to put on their ankle.  As the athlete crosses over a detection point, the loop activates the transponder which relays its unique identification number. That unique ID is passed on to the Activ Decoder which gives the “passing” a precise time stamp. The passing data is then handled by the timing software in a connected laptop or computer. You will need to pick up the transponder and ankle band on race morning at the finish line.  Please go to the white tent with blue panels at the finish area.  PLEASE NOTE, you must present your race BIB number to receive your timing chip.  This is to be sure we get your timing correct, so please work with us on this, thank you!  The transponder is programmed to coincide with your individual race number.  The detection points will be set up to give you your individual event split times from the run to bike to final run.  These transponders are $85 each…so if you forget to turn yours in at the end of the race or if you do not finish, please mail to us or you will be billed for $85!   You will also be body marked with your race number near the transition area.
