TIMING:

Timing and control will be managed by the TYR electronic timing company, using the Timingsense system — an innovative, world-renowned system featured in major marathons such as Boston, Seville, and Madrid. TYR has over 20 years of experience in sports events and has managed over 1,000 successful events in Mexico and South America. This system allows for wave starts to ensure a more organized race.

The chip is integrated into each registered competitor’s race number. It is non-transferable under any circumstances. Any detected chip exchanges between participants will result in a 5-year disqualification for the registered athlete.

The race will have a general director, starting, route, and finish line judges. Participants MUST pass through ALL ANTENNAS located along the course; otherwise, they will be disqualified, and their race will NOT be valid.

RESULTS:

Race results will be published the day after the event at www.rutadelasiglesias.com
