Bib Number / Timing Chip / Bag Check

1.   Timing chip is on back of bib number 

Do NOT fold / bend / crumple / etc. 

Altering the bib in any way will compromise the timing strips.

2.   Tear-off strip on bottom of bib number is your bag check number.

Affix tear-off strip to your bag before dropping at the appropriate bag check area.

There are separate bag check areas for the marathon and half-marathon.

Do not put valuables in your bag. 
We cannot be responsible for lost or damaged items.

You must show your bib to retrieve your checked bag.

Wearing Your Bib Number / Timing Chip 

1.   Bib number must be worn on your front torso – not on your back or leg.

2.   Bib number must not be covered – do not wear a shirt over your number.

Wearing clothing over your number can interfere with the timing chip and result in your time not being properly recorded.

3.   Bib number must always be visible so that you can be identified as a Baystate participant by support staff, volunteers, medical and safety personnel.

4.   Pin your bib number in all four corners.
