New Automatic Timing System for Classic – The B-Tag

By popular demand, this year the Ronald McDonald House of Providence Women’s Classic races – Amgen 5k and the Cardi’s Furniture 3k will be timed using the new B-Tag System. Yankee Timing System will be providing an automatic timing system. Attached to the back of your number bib will be a little chip.


When you cross the mat at the start of the race, your race begins. At the finish, instead separate chutes for the Amgen 5k and the Cardi’s Furniture 3k, there will be one finish mat. Cross the mat and you’ve finished. Congratulations!

Later, when you look up your race results, you will see two times, the “Gun Time” which is the official time and the “Net Time”. All awards – Open, Master and age-group will be based on the official “Gun Time” meaning the time from when the gun goes off until you finish the race. As a courtesy, we will also be providing you the Net time, so you can see the actual time it took you from the starting line to the finish.

Simpler at the start, simpler at the finish and a more accurate results for you. It's going to be a great race, we can't wait.
