LetsGoRun.com Now Offers Chip Timing!

BodyFirstChipTag

Contact us to learn how we can bring accurate, fast results to your event! 100% of the proceeds from our timing services go directly to support youth running in the Flint Hills region, primarily through the Manhattan Cross Country Club.

We primarily use shoe tags and the IPICO Chip Timing system, but can help you with bib tags on request. Our services are affordable for races of all sizes. Please email Pat Melgares,  melgares@LetsGoRun.com, to learn more about how we can help your race’s finish line work more smoothly.

 

Upcoming races we are scheduled to chip time:

Prairie Run 10-5-2 | Speedy PD 5K and 10K | Body First School Fitness Challenge | Runnin’ in the Rough 5K | K-State Homecoming 5K | Rock Springs Turkey Trot 5K

Also, come check out our timing for high school cross country meets in Manhattan (Aug. 31) and Emporia (Sept. 7).
