Spectators-Best Viewing of CBHM Runners

If you want to see your runner at the finish line-you MUST BE parked before 10 a.m.. The lot and road will be closed at this time.

The two best places to watch runners are the Village of Woodstock and at the Finish Line. Spectator parking is very convenient to the Finish Line at the Polo Field. (see the map below)

Remember--Finish Line Viewing-If you want to see your runners at the finish line, you MUST be parked in the designated lot BEFORE 10 a.m.. Volunteers will direct you to parking.

Race Map

Remember NO PARKING at Taftsville!

Timing

We will be using the ChronoTrack "B" Tag Timing System.

The B Tag is attached to the back of your bib, eliminating the fussing with your shoe laces. Racers cross Timing Mats at the Start and Finish to give you both an official "Gun" time as well as the unofficial "Net" time from when you cross the start mats.

You, and your B Tag, must pass over both mat systems (start and finish) in order to receive your "Net" time. If your start time is not recorded, you will only receive your "Gun time".

The official order of finish for the first three male and female finishers will be based on “Gun” time. For all but these 6 finishers, we will use “Net” times for official order of finish.

The USAT&F does accept “Net” times for rankings for masters runners (40 and over). However, it is unclear if they will accept “Net” times for other age groups. Web site results on cbhm.com will be posted in both "Gun" time order as well as "Net" time order.

For the B Tag to work, it must be pinned on your outermost layer of clothing on your front and NOT folded or wrinkled.

FINISH LINE

Dewey Field in Quechee Vermont

Return to Parking Lot for your car

FREE Buses Back to Quechee Village Lot-Runners can board buses to be transported up the hill from the Finish Line to where you parked your car pre-race.

Note: TAKE THE BUSES-This is the SAFEST WAY to get back to your car!

Medals and T-Shirts

Race Finishing Medals
Will be given out at the Finish Line

T-Shirts: Shirts will be given at the end of the race to each finishing racer. Shirts cannot be mailed.

Womens - S, M, L, XL. Mens - S, M, L, XL, XXL.

Race Results

Posted during the race near the finish line.

Awards

Our awards for the top 3 overall men and women are based on GUN time (first to reach the finish line). Then we remove these 6 runners from the age divisions and those age divisions are determined by NET time (also called CHIP time which is finish time minus start time).
