⏱️ Timing Equipment

Athletic Timing uses Lynx timing equipment. RFID antennas capture your time using disposable chips that are fastened to the back of your racing bib. Take the chips home with you: you will not be asked to return the chips. Wear your bib on the upper chest to maximize the chip reads.

🌤️ Weather

Weather is usually mild. Race time temperatures are likely to range from the low 40s to mid 50s.

📸 Photos

A photographer will be on hand and will post Harvest Classic photos on-line. Please share photos of your run/walk on the Harvest Classic Facebook page.
