For the 3K fun run, 10K, half marathon, and marathon automatic timing will be used.
Timing will be provided for the marathon, half marathon, 10K race, and 3K fun run. In these events, the timing chip is embedded in the race bib. It is important that participants do not fold or damage their bibs. The bib must be securely fastened to the front of the shirt and remain clearly visible at all times - especially when passing over the timing mats.
Mats will be located at the start/finish line where participants will run over. No race bib = no time. Each chip has a number in our database which is linked to an individual runner. Timing starts when a participant runs over the mat and finishes when he runs over it again when finishing the race. Chip time, therefore, gives an accurate time for the assigned runner regardless of his position at the start. There will also be so-called 'gun time' which is the time from the countdown/alert at the start of the race until participants cross the finish line. Gun time is the official timing for the race, according to international rules on certified races. In addition to the mats placed at the start/finish line, mats and track boxes will be located at 7 places along the track: at 5 K, 10K, 16.4K, 21.1K, 24.6K, 29.6K og 37.9K (subject to change). The participants will get their split time registered when they cross over the mats.
Participants will receive an email with their chip time shortly after they finish the race.
Live results will be available on race day. Please note that these are only preliminary results that are updated every 10 sec (might take longer when many people are coming in at the same time). Official results will be published on the web at 17:00 on race day.
Specialists from Corsa and Race Result will take care of the timing at Íslandsbanki Reykjavik Marathon.
