ChampionChip Electronic Timing
The 5 Mile event will be timed using the
ChampionChip Timing system. Use of the chip will help get faster and more
accurate race results to you. Please follow the instructions attached to the
envelope containing the Chip that was given to you with your bib. Be sure to
lace the Chip to your shoe. It will not work unless it is on your shoe. Make
sure the number on the top of the envelope matches your Bib number. At the
finish there will be volunteers to help you remove the Chip. Chips MUST be
returned. If anyone chooses NOT to run/walk on run date, please return the
chip either at registration, or on race day to a race official, or mail it
back (wrapped in bubble wrap) to AK Run for Women, PO Box 230929, Anchorage,
AK 99523. You will be charged $35 if you do not return your Chip.
Race merchandise
T-shirts and other race merchandise
will be available for sale at Registration and Bib Pick-up at the University
Center and at the race in the infield. Alaska Run for Women Merchandise goes
fast – don’t wait until the day of the run to make your purchase. Buy your
goodies early while they are still available!

Strollers and baby joggers
Because of safety and insurance issues, participants are only allowed to
walk with strollers or baby joggers. Please, NO RUNNING! Strollers and
baby joggers must line up behind the walkers at both the 5-mile and 1-mile
starts. The stroller event is a noncompetitive walk-only event. Participants
will be given special commemorative bibs, but will not have timed results.
Also, no roller blades, wagons or pets.
Teams
Gather five or more individuals and register as a Team! Each individual team
member should register and indicate their team name on the application. Each
individual will pick up their own bib at any of the times listed in

please contact teams@akrfw.org.
