Rules and Regulations

Transponder (Timing Chip) Instructions

The Cleveland Triathlon is proud to partner with Premier Sports to provide the latest innovation in timing technology. ChronoTrack provides superior reliability along with the use of a disposable system called, D-Tags. One of the many goals of the ChronoTrack system is to simplify the timing process for athletes. A disposable tag eliminates the need for several organizational choke points that allow the athletes to spend more time focusing on their competition and less time waiting in lines. Shorter lines before the race to pick up your bib and chip and no line to return your tag or chip afterward are just some of the benefits to the ChronoTrack system. The D-tag is easy to attach your shoe and is far lighter and less intrusive than other timing tags and chips. Once the D-tag is attached to your shoe, you will quickly forget that it is even there!For Instructions and FAQ...CLICK HERE
