IMPORTANT- Chip Timing: All races are chip-timed. Your child will receive one (1) bib for the entire series. That bib includes his/her chip. The number on the bib is assigned to your child only, throughout the series. Keep your bib throughout the year! If you have more than one child, write their names on their bibs. No bib = no results. Wrong bib = wrong results.

Bib replacement cost is $10+tax.
