Timing for the race is monitored by
Gault Race Management. This is a chip scored race using Chrono Track timing. Up until a few years ago this allows your timing to start once your foot crosses the start line, opposed to the shot gun start, which makes it more accurate with a line up of runners/walkers that is usually a block wide long. Results can also be checked at www.gaultracemanagement.com or www.runmichigan.com
Awards are given away to 1st overall, 1st masters, male & female,
plus 1st, 2nd, 3rd places in each age group. And metals to all finishers.
