The Rodes City Run 10K will be using the state-of-the-art race timing technology from CHRONOTRACK, implemented by Gault Race Management.
The Rodes City Run 10K, and the other Louisville Triple Crown of Running races in the series, is proud to announce the implementation of ChronoTrack, a new innovation that allows for the use of disposable tags called, B-Tags. One of the many goals of the ChronoTrack system is to simplify the timing process for athletes
ChronoTrack Systems, having continued their pioneering work in UHF timing systems, is now pleased to announce the arrival of the most anticipated technology in race timing history: the B-Tag, a disposable UHF RFID tag that stays mounted on the runner’s bib.
Because the B-Tag is mounted on the back of the runner’s bib, it is virtually invisible to the participant and requires no special pre or post race handling. The disposable B-Tag insures high accuracy, fast results and simplicity of use for races of all sizes.
Please be sure to wear your bib on the outside of all your garments for accurate timing.
CLICK HERE for the B-Tag instruction sheet.

Welcome to the Louisville Triple Crown of Running Forum. As you will quickly see, a lot of us are either "old shoes" or "newbies" here, but feel free to jump in and say hi, ask questions or whatever. We are a friendly bunch and are looking forward to our community growing through another running season!
Stick around, join in, read, comment, question and/or complain. If we can't keep you motivated, nobody can. Part of what we do here is cheer each other on, listen with a sympathetic ear, offer advice, and generally help each other through the ups and downs of running, walking and life.
