ChronoTrack Timing
The Holiday 5K FunRun will be timed using Chronotrack D-Tags. To be included in the results and eligible for an award, you must wear their D-Tag properly on your shoe. Your D-Tag will be attached to your bib when you pick it up with your packet. Remove it and follow the instructions printed on the tag itself. It's important that you only bend the D-Tag in the proper place. Bending it across the chip will disable it, and it won't be read when you start or finish. Here are additional instructions runontexas.com.
