Cost: $23.00 prior to race day, $28.00 on race day. Please make checks out to Yankee Homecoming Race. All proceeds benefit eye research in Massachusetts.
Scoring: The Yankee Homecoming Road Race will be scored using the ChronoTrack timing system. Runners will receive the timing device (D-tag) attached to their race (bib) number. Runners must remove the D-tag from their race (bib) number and attach it to their shoe prior to the race, following the instructions that are attached with the D-tag.
Please note that it is very important that the D-Tag is attached properly. If you enter the race but then decide not to participate, please do not take your chip at registration. We cannot time any runner without a D-tag. NO D-TAG = NO TIME. For more information about the D-tag system.
The D-tag is disposable and will not be collected after the race.
Number and Timing Device Pickup: You may pick up your race (bib) number and D-tag on race day, at the Newburyport High School between 8:00 AM and the start of the race. Even if you entered the race through the mail or over the Internet you still must pick up your assigned race (bib) number, D-tag, and T shirt (if applicable) on race day at registration.
