Photos
Look for our photographers at the start line, along the course, finish line, photo backdrops in the runner’s corral, and at the awards stage. Please make sure your bib number is visible to more easily search for your photos. Your social media sized pictures are included with your registration and can be downloaded HERE after the race.
Timing & Bibs
The Frigid 5K will be professionally timed. The chips will be attached to the back of your bib number. Please don’t wrinkle or stuff the bib in your pocket.
The first 3 places, male and female, will be determined by gun time (regular timing). All other awards will be determined by using Chip Time.
- Gun Time is the time elapsed from the sound of the gun to the finish line.
- Chip Time is the real time from when the runner crosses the starting line to crossing the finish line.
Results are available in the following ways:
- On-Screen at the Results Trailer
- Personal Printed Result at the Results Trailer
- Online at Results
- On the RaceJoy app
Note: If you alter or damage your chip your time may not be read correctly. Wear your bib on the outermost layer of clothing.
