The location of the runner bib

During the run, the runner bib must be placed in an easily visible position on the chest area and must not be obscured by the coat so that the staff can identify it. Otherwise, the organizer reserves the right to disqualify the runner. Runners should use the runner bib buckle/pin to fasten the four corners of the runner bib tightly to the chest area, with the number facing outward. No pins will be provided at the starting point on the day of the event, and runners must prepare them by themselves.

Timing chip
• The timing chip is mounted on the back of the number bib. Do not bend the chip.

Notice
• Runners must step on the timing mats located at the start/finish point and the designated timing location of the run. If the runner bib is worn incorrectly, the chip is damaged, or the timing mat is not passed, the organizer will not be able to provide the run time.
• Runners must show their bib when checking in or collecting luggage, entering the starting area and entering the finishing venue.
