What is the ChronoTrack Timing System and how does it work?
The Papa John's 10 Miler continues to offer the latest in race timing technology, the ChronoTrack Timing System, for 2011.

Over the last year, runners and race directors alike have come to rely on the disposable ChronoTrack B-Tag, a disposableUHF RFID tag, to time their races with convenience and ease.

Because the B-Tag is mounted on the back of the runner's bib, it is virtually invisible to the participant and requires no special pre or post race handling. The disposable B-Tag insures high accuracy, fast results and simplicity of use for races of all sizes.

This new timing innovation is expected to set the benchmark for the timing industry and will be used at major running events around the country this spring. ChronoTrack Systems is proud to lead the industry as the only major race timing system developed and manufactured in the USA.

The ChronoTrack Timing System will be distributed with your race number at the Late Registration/Packet Pickup on March 25th and on Race Day, March 26th. Race Timing and Runners Services are performed by Gault Race Management.
