Timing:
We
are using the Chronotrack timing system to ensure that everyone
receives an accurate time. Per USATF Rule 245.1, Open Men's and
Women's and Master Men's and Women's top three awards in the Marathon
and the Half Marathon will be based on gun time (the order in which the
athletes cross the finish line). Age group and Relay awards will be
based on timing system time (the actual time elapsed between an athlete
reaching the starting line and finish line). Digital clocks will be
located at each mile and at the 5K splits to indicate the unofficial
running time. The digital clocks at the finish line display your
unofficial time. Official time is determined by the Chronotrack timing
system.
Goodies: All half marathon participants receive a goody bag, t-shirt, poster, and heartland hospitality both on and off the course (food, beverage and availability of medical care and massage to aid your recovery). Half marathon finishers also receive a custom half marathon finisher’s medal.
Walkers are welcome in the Oklahoma City Memorial Half Marathon!
