Timing

The City of Oaks Marathon and Rex Healthcare Half Marathon will be using the timing services of Finish Strong Series and the Chronotrack System to accurately time the races and quickly provide day-of-race results. A D-Tag timing chip and race number will be issued to all race participants in their entry packet. You must wear the timing chip on your shoe during the race to receive your finishing time. The D-tag is easy to attach your shoe and is far lighter and less intrusive than other timing tags and chips. Once the D-tag is attached to your shoe, you will quickly forget that it is even there! Instructions for attaching the D-Tag to your shoe are available here. No other timing chip may be worn. Your assigned race number must be worn for visual personal identification while on the course. All participants will receive their gun time and chip time for the race they complete.
