Attach A Timing Tag

Run a race with a properly attached timing tag.


Race timing tags, also called Chrono Track tags or D-tags, are used to track and record an athlete's pace to score a race. Timing tags are used for marathons, triathlons and other racing events as part of the timing system to determine each individual's finishing time. The tag is a thin, non-intrusive, weatherproof strip that is typically distributed along with the race bib. Proper attachment of the tag is necessary to receive a record. If you misuse, lose or choose not to wear your tag, you will not have a time record for the event.


Instructions


1. Detach the timing tag from your running bib.


2. Tear the directions off of the tag. Let the dotted "Tear Along Here" line guide you.


3. Loosen up the top part of your shoe laces. Insert the strip through the loosened criss-cross laces. Follow the "This Side Up" label so that it faces the top side.


4. Fold the strip gently in a circle and connect the ends of the tag using the adhesive tab.


5. Insert the clip into the hole and snap them together. The clip may not be provided; some timing tags only come with adhesives.


6. Tighten your shoe laces. Tug lightly to ensure that the tag is securely attached.
