MYLAPS BIBTAG SYSTEM TIMING
The Great Aloha Run features MYLAPS BibTag System Timing. Each BibTag contains a runner’s personalized identification which is read by sensors at the start and finish lines. The BibTag transmits a signal which enables the computer to record your official “gun time” as well as your “net time”—taking into account the actual time that you cross the start line. Stroller baby participants are untimed.
ONLY FINISHERS RECEIVE A FINISHER T-SHIRT
Size selection is final. If no size is selected on the entry form, the default size is an Adult Large. There are no refunds or other substitute t-shirts, if you, for whatever reason, are unable to complete the race. Finisher t-shirts are not awarded to stroller baby participants.
