Ipico Chip
Participants to the Marathon, Half Marathon and Mini-Marathon will be running with an Ipico chip this year.
This chip, which is attached to the shoe lace, will measure the net time between start and finish. That means your time will only start once you have passed the starting line. This extra service ensures a more correct time measurement.
The rent of this chip is included in the registration fee. The chip will be given to the participants together with their chest number. After the competition, the chip will be collected by our staff members.
Ipico is a system which knows great success in America. The system has proven its worth during, among others, the ING Antwerp 10 Miles & Marathon (23,000 participants). In 2009 the London Marathon will also use the Ipico chip.
So participants are not allowed to use their own chip, but will be issued with a rental chip by the organisation.
