The timing chip inside your number will record your race time as you cross the line. Make certain that you run over the mat at the finish funnel, this will ensure that your chip is registered.

Once you have crossed the finish line, don’t stop, keep moving to the end of the funnels; stay in the exact order in which you have finished.

Please don’t get ahead of anyone in the finish funnels. This is very important for accurate timing and placing. If someone gets in front of you, politely ask them to go back, they may not only get your hard-earned place and time, but they may also mess the whole results up.
