    Yes, there is a baggage check-in area* at the start line where runners can deposit their belongings.

    *Counters will only accept items secured in bag(s) tagged with a baggage tag (proliferated to a section of every runner tag).

  • 12. Will there be course markers along the race routes?

    Yes, course markers will be available every 2km along the race routes.
  • 13. Will there be an awards ceremony?

    All winners will be presented with their respective awards following their races on race day.
  • 14. How will my race timing be recorded?

    Race timings will be recorded by D-Tag, an electronic race timing system with accuracy up to hundredth of second. The disposable tag is completely weatherproof and will work regardless of rain, heat, storms, humidity or other inclement conditions.

    All participants will be timed using D-Tag electronic race timing system.
  • 15. How do I use my D-Tag?

  • 16. How can I access my personal race results after the event?

    Participants will be granted access to their personal race results (Gun Time and Chip Time), as captured by the timing system on the race website 12hours after the last cut-off time.

    "Gun Time" (still officially accepted by the IAAF as the valid mode of measuring running time) includes whatever distance you had to cover before you actually reach the start line. Official results are based on the Gun Time, i.e. prizes rankings are according to the Gun time.

    The Chronotrack electronic race timing system eliminates that major issue of inaccurate timing and gives you your "Net Time".

    First aiders will be deployed along the route. Participants who are in need of immediate attention can also alert the route marshals.
