Scoring:

AMB 'Chip' Transponder
All participants are required to pick up their 'Chip' on race day. Participants must have their race number to pick up your 'Chip', and may only pick up their own 'Chip'. Any participant who does not wear the AMB 'Chip' Transponder (Champion Chips will not work) will not be scored as part of the results. Please come early so you do not miss the start of the race because you have failed to pick up your 'Chip'.

ALL 'CHIPS' MUST BE RETURNED TO THE VOLUNTEERS AFTER YOU CROSS THE FINISH LINE. LOST CHIPS WILL COST THE PARTICIPANT $80.00.

Safety:
There will be police and fire rescue available in case of any medical emergency during the race. Immediately STOP RUNNING if you feel ill and seek help at a water station. To ensure the safety and enjoyment of all runners and walkers, the course is restricted.
