Frequently Asked Questions
ChampionChip Timing: The Texas Half will use the computerized ChampionChip timing system, which records your time precisely from start to finish. Awards will be based on gun time. You must pick up your loaner chip at the event race morning. You may use your own ChampionChip, however make sure it is entered on your entry form and it is your responsibility to ensure that it matches your bib number. If you do not wear a chip, you will not be timed and will not be included in any results. All loaner chips must be surrendered at the finish line.
The Texas Marathon: Use the Texas Half as preparation for The Texas Marathon! www.texasmarathon.com.
Course: We will circle White Rock Lake. Check our course map page for details.
