For any road running performance to be accepted as a record or be nationally ranked, it must be run on a USATF-certified course. In addition, the certification program is very important to the average road racer, as well as those of exceptional speed. Most runners like to compare performances run on different courses, and such comparisons are difficult if course distances are not reliable. No one can truly establish a personal best if the course distance is not accurate.<br /> <br /><span style="text-decoration:underline"><strong>RACE TIMING AND SCORING</strong></span><br />The race will be professionally timed and scored by Performance Race Timing, LLC. The race will be timed using disposable, electronic tags attached to the bib number. Please wear your bib number to the front, pinned at all four corners, visible, and unaltered. Results will be posted at the race site and live online during the race at Performance Race Timing. </p> <p><span style="text-decoration:underline"><strong>RACE CONTACT INFORMATION</strong></span><br />Stephanie Rife - Race Coordinator <br />Website: http://rotaryclubcrescentcity.com/<br />Phone: 386-546-9098<br />Email: catfishfestival5k&#64;gmail.com</p>
