Results, Timing, Race Packs & Numbers

Our results service is provided by DB Max Chip Timing, a race timing specialist. Your timing chip automatically records when you cross the start and finish line, providing the most accurate time of your race.

You will receive your race number (Bib) with the timing chip already attached, you don’t need to do anything more with this other than keep your race number (Bib) in a safe place ready to be worn on race day. It is essential that the timing chip is not removed and that you wear the bib as advised, fastened to your torso with a pin in each corner of the bib.

Do not remove, pierce or bend the timing chip.

It is essential that you keep your race number (Bib) in a safe place. If you lose, damage or forget your race number, there will be emergency replacements available on race day for a £10.00 fee payable on collection.

A race pack containing your race number (Bib with timing chip attached) will be posted to you around 1-3 weeks before the race.

You must wear your race number in order to race. NO NUMBER = NO RACE.

The app will allow your family and friends to follow your progress throughout the race and give you access to your results as soon as you cross the finish line.
