Enclosed in your envelope at packet pick-up will be your race bib and your chip.
What is a bib? This is your unique identification number to the race staff, photographers, spectators, etc. Make sure your

chip stays tightly attached to your shoe at the start and finish of the race in order to receive your time. To secure your
chip...
