Chip Handout
No Chip No Time
Don't forget to get your timing chip at Frontier Field on Race Morning between 5AM and 7AM.
The chip racks will be arranged by bib number in front of Frontier Field by the ticket booths. Simply show your bib number and you'll get your chip. No bib - then no chip.
No chip means no time.
Wear the chip on your ankle only.
You must return the chip. Chips will be collected at the finish line. If for any reason you drop out of the race, please return the chip to the finish line, so we know that you are no longer in the race. Otherwise its a $90 fee for any non returned chips.
For relays - the last runner must wear the chip in order to get timed. You can either pass this chip along from runner to runner OR the last person just has the chip, thus no passing of the chip needed between teammates.
More info on Chip Handout can be found here. |

Packet Pickup for the Preferred Care Rochester Half/Full/Relay Marathon will be at the Health & Wellness Expo on Friday, September 14th and Saturday, September 15th from 10-7PM at the Main Street Armory at 900 East Main Street in Rochester (across from the Auditorium).
We can not stress the importance of getting your packet at the expo. Do not wait until race morning unless you truly have to. The less you have to do race morning the better. If you get your packet at the Expo, all you'll have to do race morning is get your chip and get on the bus to the start.
Also, only the participant can get their packet, therefore, you won't be able to get your spouses, your relay teams', your best friend's etc... Only you can get your packet.
This year's Health & Wellness Expo will include national vendors such as Race Sponsor: Brooks Sports. Plus you'll find awesome deals from Asics, Nike, New Balance, Mizuno and Saucony. Bay Creek Paddle will be exhibiting some of their latest Kayaks, there will be a kids play gym by the YMCA, Main Sponsor Preferred Care will be doing free blood pressure checks, plus the concession stands will be open and you can come for lunch or dinner. Don't forget to bring your old shoes to donate to the Rotary Shoe Mobile. In additon, you can visit other local gyms, chiropractors, Yoga and Pilates Studios, pharmaceutical companies and more. | |
