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.

Results are available in the following ways:

  • On Screen at the Results Trailer
  • Personal Printed Result at the Results Trailer
  • Online at Results

Note: If you alter or damage your chip your time may not be read correctly. Wear your bib on the outermost layer of clothing.

Race Joy will be enabled for all Runtastic THANKFUL races. Get updates along the course and let your loved ones know exactly where you are along the course. Check out the RaceJoy website for more information.

RYR Pacing

To help our runners achieve their goals we have enlisted the RYR Pacers to pace the half marathon.

At the starting line each pacer will be holding a sign with their pace time on it. The faster the pace the closer to the starting line they will be. Please find your pacer and line up behind them.

This will help all runners be around other runners with similar speeds and keep runners from getting stuck behind slower runners or getting bumped or run over by faster runners.

The 3 hr 15 min pacers will be the last runners on half course. Please maintain their speed to remain on the course.
