You can also use a permanent marker to write your bib number in the box on the front of the bag.

**Please only put items in the bag that do not have personal, valuable, or essential (like car keys!). Runtastic is not liable for the loss or damage of any belongings that are put in the drop bags.

BAG DROP AT START — PICK-UP AT FINISH: Announcements will be made to drop your bag at the start line in the designated bins or bag trailer/vehicle 15 minutes before the start of the race. You can retrieve your bag after your race at the Bag Pick-Up Corral at the Finish Line.

THERE ARE NO CLOTHING DROPS ON THE COURSE

ANY CLOTHING OR ITEMS DROPPED AT THE START LINE OR ALONG THE COURSE WILL BE PICKED UP TO BE DISCARDED OR DONATED. If there are clothing or items you might not want to wear or carry the whole race, please plan on putting these items in your drop bag or a designated DONATION bin at the start of the race. We appreciate your help in striving to keep the community clean that is allowing us to run!

As a courtesy, any drop bags that are not picked up at the Pick-up Corral at the Finish Bag during the race will be taken to Runtastic’s office at 50 North Center St. American Fork, UT 84003. Your bag can be picked up the week following the race from our office lobby on the weekdays from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

Bibs with Timing by Laurel

The HEBER Half Marathon, 5K, and All-Abilities 1/2 Mile Run will be professionally timed by Laurel Timing. The chips will be attached to the back of your bib number. Please don’t wrinkle or stuff the bib in your pocket.

The Top Three Overall Male and Female finishers will be determined by gun time (regular timing). The Age Group 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.
