Saturday and Wednesday Bib Pickup

Avoid standing in a long cold line Thursday morning and pick up your race number and shirt (if ordered) on Saturday morning from 10:00 to 12:00 or Wednesday evening from 5:30 to 7:30. Pick up will be held at the Shippensburg Courtyard by Marriott, 503 Newburg Road, Shippensburg, PA, 17257. This will also be the last chance to pre-register and save $10 over the same day price. If you pick up your number on Wednesday you do not have to check in on Thursday morning. Just pin on your race number and put your timing chip on your shoe and proceed directly to the start line a few minutes before 9:00 AM. The race will start promptly at 9:00 so be on time.

Timing   Chip timed event

Timing for this race will be provided by Timber Hill Timing.

Everyone will start together with a gun/whistle/siren/"GO".

The finish will be chip timed. Your time and place will be taken automatically from your timing chip.

Your finish time will be calculated from the starting gun and your chip finish time to give your gun time.

All awards will be determined by gun time meaning the first person across the finish line is the winner.

You are responsible for wearing your race bib and timing chip properly!

All runners must wear a timing chip on their shoe in order to receive a time and to be eligible for awards. Click here for instructions on attaching your timing chip.

Runners must wear their bib number on their chest in order to be identified in case of a timing chip failure.

Failure to wear your timing chip on your shoe or your bib number on your chest may result in a disqualification at the discretion of the Race Director or Timber Hill Timing.

Please be patient!

Timber Hill Timing strives to produce accurate and timely results but like any technology it is not perfect and 100% reliable. We employ several backup measures in case the timing system is not working as planned. Depending on the issue, there may be a delay in producing the results. Accurate results will always be a higher priority than quick results. Please be patient as we work to resolve any problems that may arise at a race.

Occasionally results will not be available before you leave the race, but they will be posted on the website as soon as results can be verified.
