RunFAR Offers New Disposable Tag Timing System

RunFAR Racing Services, Inc., now offers the new disposable road racing timing system created by ChronoTrack Systems for selected events over 1,000 participants.

Participants at ChronoTrack events no longer have to register their timing chip at packet pick, or have it removed at the finish line.  The new system allows race organizers to print an integrated bib and tag for each participant, encoding the runner's bib number into the tag's RFID chip. The peel-off, disposable portion of the bib becomes a tag that runners attach to their shoes.  Click on the links below for further instructions and information:

Please note: Personal ChampionChips are not compatible with this system. All participants will need to wear the provided D-Tag.
