Series #108 – Run 3 – 5 March 2025 – Run No. 645
GENERAL BUSINESS
It is imperative that all runners participate with their own pre-allocated chip. Although we acknowledge the efforts of the runner, evidence from STRAVA is not acceptable in the absence of the runner’s chip. To reiterate, no chip means no official time.
Additionally, there have been occurrences where runners have used another person’s chip or run with multiple chips for themselves and other participants. Running with another person’s chip will not give the runner any credit for a run, and risks recording an invalid run against a runner who did not run. Running with more than one chip is expressly prohibited (by rule 7.1), and any instances discovered risk a 25 point penalty and possible expulsion of the team from the competition. Don’t do it!
