Series 107 Run 5 – 16 October 2024 – Run No. 641
GENERAL BUSINESS
Congratulations to Luke Porter of Reserve Bank Midday Milers who reached the 300 run milestone with this run. A great achievement.
Ensuring your time is recorded
Some runners are missing out on an official timing for their run as their chip is out of range, in their pocket, when crossing the mat. This may work sometimes but can also fail sometimes. Attaching your chip to your shoelace is best for a good recording. The next best option is bending over with the chip in your hand when crossing the mat. In all cases ensure that you hear the beeps when starting and finishing.
