Safety
Due to the fact a portion of this race is run on streets shared with traffic (Sheridan road will not be closed entirely), all runners need to exercise caution & stay to the right as much as possible.

Timing
The North Shore Half Marathon and 5K will be using the ChronoTrack disposable chip system. Each participant will receive a B-Tag attached to their race bib when they pick up their race materials at packet pickup. No bibs or B-Tags will be distributed on race day.
In order to receive an accurate time, please confirm your bib is…
- Clearly visible on the front of the torso
- Unaltered and unmodified (Do not fold or wrinkle)
- Pinned in all four corners
- Not covered (jackets, runner belts, water bottles, etc.)
Athletes who own a personal ChampionChip will be unable to use that timing device. The B-Tag is a disposable timing device.
