ChronoTrack Timing System

State of the art ChronoTrack systems will be used to record participant’s times at the start, at certain splits along the courses and at the finish.  The ChronoTrack system uses a disposable tag, called a “B-Tag”, which allows you to walk away from the finish line without the need to have your tag collected. 

The ChonoTrack timing tag (‘B-Tag”) will be attached to your race bib.  When you pick up your race bib, please verify the information (name, age, gender, race) is correct; proceed to the Information Tent if any of the information is incorrect.

 Raceplace Events is providing the event timing services using the ChronoTrack system.  You must be wearing your “B-Tag” correctly in order to be timed.   

COURSE

All races start and end on Market Street in DC Ranch.  The Half Marathon provides stunning views of the Valley and the McDowell Sonoran Mountains along the challenging course of ascents and descents.  The 10K  course is a loop encompassing the rolling hills of DC Ranch.  The 5K course  loop has great spectator opportunities – and offers a great event for walkers.
