FAQ's & Policies

How am I supposed to wear my race bib?

Wearing your race bib correctly is imperative to getting an accurate read and result on race day. Participants not wearing the bib correctly stand the chance of missing a read and not getting an official time. Bibs should not be worn between layers of clothing that may become wet from rain or sweat. View below, or click here for instructions on how to properly wear your race bib.

What are the time limits for the races? Is the race walker friendly?

10K courses are open for 2 hours
5 Mile courses are open for 1.5 hours
10 Mile courses are open for 3 hours
13.1 Mile courses are open for 3.5 hours

Will I receive a refund if I cannot attend?

Can I wear someone else’s bib who cannot attend the race?

It is imperative that the registration data associated with your race number belongs to you, and only you, the participant.

While wearing someone else’s bib may seem harmless to the parties perpetrating the unauthorized bib transfer, it does convey serious consequences to the organizers and participant field alike.

From race results to finishers’ awards being impacted as well as medical staff being able to correctly identify participants in need of treatment, it is imperative that the registration data associated with your race number does in fact belong to you, the participant.

Thus, if race organizers become aware that a runner has participated in one of our events with a bib that is not registered to that runner, both the runner and the person to whom the bib is registered will be prohibited from participating in subsequent Fusion Racing events for a minimum of two years.

Race Awards

Are winners chosen by chip time or gun time? What is the difference?

Overall winners (including Masters if applicable) are always scored by gun time. Age group winners are scored by chip time.

“Gun time” refers to the time it takes you to complete the race, from when the starting gun goes off at the beginning of the race to the moment you cross the finish line.
“Chip time” is another way of saying “net time”, or the actual amount of time it takes a runner/walker to go from the starting line of a race to the finish line.

If you think you are in contention for an overall award you should start the race as close to the starting line as possible.

Are baby joggers or strollers allowed during the race?

Strollers are always welcome at our races. If it is a trail race please review the course map and contact us to make sure the course is safe for your child.

It is your responsibility to make sure your baby jogger does not impede other runners, and you must take extra precaution to ensure your safety, your child’s safety, and the safety of the runners around you.

We reserve the right to pull any participant from the race who is endangering other runners or themselves.

You should not apply a chipped race bib to the person in the stroller as to not produce an official result for the rider.

Are pets permitted on the course?

Are listening devices allowed during the race?
