By using a high-frequency identification, the system captures runner data through antennas embedded in rubberized mats. Instructions will be provided as to the procedure for properly attaching the tag. Any participant who fails to attach the tag properly, will not receive an official time. ChronoTrack tags are assigned to each individual runner and; consequently, are not transferrable. Should an individual who registered for the 10-Miler opt instead to take part in the 4-Mile Walk for Fun, they should not wear their timing tag. General Information Participants are to report to the Sports USA/Hedrick Stadium area by 6 a.m. Following 6 a.m., area accessibility will be more difficult due to road closures. Pre-race instructions will be given at 6:20 a.m. Digital display clocks will be located at mile marks throughout the course. Seven water points and two water sprays will be located along the route. Five of those water points will provide Gatorade drink. Portable restroom facilities will also be available near each water point. Pets, bicycles, headphones, and rollerblades will not be permitted on the course. Walkers may be required to use sidewalks in order to facilitate a more prompt reopening of streets. 4-Mile Walk for Fun The Sixth Annual Army Birthday 4-Mile Walk for Fun
