Race Scoring

This is a scored race that counts toward the nine races NYRR members as of January 2010 need to be eligible for guaranteed entry to the ING New York City Marathon 2011.
This race is timed using the ChronoTrack d-tag timing system. The timing device will be attached to your race number. You must remove the d-tag from your number and attach it to your shoe prior to the race. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE D-TAG IS ATTACHED CORRECTLY. The d-tag is disposable; it will not be collected after the race. All participants in this race must wear the d-tag in order to have their times recorded.
