This is a small and flat chip that comes affixed to the back of the bib. Runners must wear their bib on their outer-most layer and it must not be altered in any way. They cannot flatten, bend, nor crease their bib. These chips do not get returned, making for a smooth and easy finishing process. Results will be immediately available at www.AREEP.com following the event.
