RaceTec Timing System
This year sees the introduction of timing chips to the Half Marathon only. This follows the trend towards using this technology in mass participation events and ensures speedy and accurate timing. The RaceTec system, as used at the Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon and many Cape Argus Pick ‘n Pay Cycle Tours, has been selected.
If you already own a RaceTec chip, enter your chip number on the entry form. If you do not own a RaceTec chip, you MUST purchase one when you enter the Gun Run Half Marathon. Chips are available for R80 (normally R110) and you collect your chip with your race number at registration. You can use your unique chip for this and future timed events which use the RaceTec system. For a list of the many events using the RaceTec timing system, visit www.racetec.co.za.
If you have already purchased a RaceTec chip but have not yet received it (for example, you have entered the 2012 Cape Argus Pick ‘n Pay Cycle Tour and have ordered a RaceTec chip), you DO NOT need to purchase a new chip for the Gun Run. When entering, please indicate that you have purchased a chip but have not yet received it. RaceTec will be on hand at number collection to ensure that you receive the chip that you have already purchased.
Your chip must be positioned vertically (not horizontally) on your shoe laces in order to be read over the timing mats. NB: you MUST wear your RaceTec chip when you run the Gun Run Half Marathon; if you fail to wear your chip, you will NOT be listed as an official finisher or receive an official time. You will also NOT qualify for prize money or have your participation added to your race history.
Chips are NOT required for the 10km and 5km events.
