ChronoTrack Timing and Scoring

Transponder timing operated by Capital Running Company will be used to score the 5K race. The system uses a computer "tag" which must be tied to each runners' shoelaces and records the exact time a runner crosses the starting line and the finish line, resulting in a net time for each runner. The D-tag is disposable. Overall awards will be based upon clock time and age group awards will be based upon transponder times.

Awards

Prizes will be awarded to the top three male and female finishers overall (based upon clock time). There will also be prizes for the top two male and female finishers (based upon net time) in the following 10-year age groups: 19 and under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70 & up. In addition, awards will be given to the first male and female Navy Federal employee finishers. Everyone who is present at the award ceremony is eligible for random awards from local merchants.
