Scoring / Timing

The Salt Lake City Marathon, Half Marathon & 5K has selected the ChampionChip system for the scoring and timing of both the Marathon, Half Marathon & 5K for this year’s event.

ChampionChip utilizes a computerized timing system that records each runner's actual running time. Chip timing starts when participants cross the starting line mat and stops at the finish line. Your finish time is calculated precisely when you cross the finish line mat. Salt Lake City Marathon provides chip timing as a service to all our participants. Only cash prizes are based on gun time.  Division winners are based on chip time.

All participants must pick up their ChampionChip, along with their bib number at the Quality of Life Expo on Thursday, April 15th and Friday, April 16th. If you own a ChampionChip (yellow) and would like to use it for one of our events, please bring it with you to packet pickup. There will be a registration services desk ('Solutions Desk') at the expo where you can return the rental ChampionChip (black) and register your personal ChampionChip (yellow).

***New for 2009*** ChampionChips for the 2009 SLC Marathon 5K are disposable and do not need to be surrendered at the finish line!  You may keep them as a souvenir of your accomplishment!  

 

***  TIMING SYSTEM FOR 2010 SLC MARATHON 5K WILL BE POSTED SOON - CHECK BACK HERE FOR DETAILS ***

 

If you do not wear your chip, you will not be timed. Timing chips must be adhered to your shoe. (If you do not adhere it to your shoe, the chip may not be close enough to the ground to register your time as you cross the start and finish line mats!)
