4. Race Etiquette

• If you encounter any problems during the run, please approach the event marshals for assistance. Please keep to your left to allow faster participants to overtake. If you encounter participants on the right side of the lane who are moving at a slower pace, please call out, “On Your Right”. As a courtesy, all participants are required to move to the left when they hear this.

5. Race Timings

• Your race timings can be found in the 42Race app under your Profile by 31 October 2023, two days after the race. Official results and ranking are based on Gun Time. In the event of dispute over race timings/results, an appeal must be lodged to the staff at the Information booth within 15 minutes of the category’s prize presentation. A non-refundable SGD$50 administrative fee will be charged per appeal. The Organisers reserve the final rights to the decision over the dispute of race results.

6. Race Certificates with Nett Time

• All finishers will be entitled to a personalised race e-certificate with “Nett Time” reflected, downloadable from 1 November 2023, three days after the race via the 42Race app.

7. Using your Bib-Tag to record race timing

The Bib-Tag system has been adopted to record your race timing electronically. Please read the following instructions to ensure proper usage of Bib-Tag.

• How do I use my Bib-Tag?
  Simply ensure it is attached behind your race bib.
  
  
• What do I do with the Bib-Tag after the run?
  You do not need to return your Bib-Tag and may dispose it after completing the race.
  
  
• How do I activate my Bib-Tag?
  Each Bib-Tag is checked before distribution to the participants. The tag is always “on” and does not need to be activated.
  
  
• What is Nett time and how is it different from Gun time?
  Gun time starts recording as soon as the race category begins. Nett time (chip time) only starts recording when the runner crosses the start line. Nett time is often shorter as many runners do not cross the start line until several minutes after the Official Gun time has begun.
  
  
• How accurate is Nett time?
  Nett time is the most accurate form of run timing available. It measures the exact time between a runner crossing the start line and the finish line. Nett time also records when checkpoints are passed, providing an accurate record of a runner’s pace.
