This year once again we will be using the Sportident timing
system used at events such as The Three Peaks Race, Kentmere,
several mountain marathons and the Ian Hodgson Relay.
Most regular fell runners will now be conversant
with the system which is simple to use, accurate and instant
but a brief explanation may be needed to ensure smooth running
on the day of the event.
One team member at the start will be given
a plastic SI-card or “dibber” which will be carried
on a piece of string around the neck.
At the finish of each leg the team member
will have to touch the “dibber” into the electronic
control station, a small plastic box which will be on a stake
in the ground or hand held by a checkpoint marshal, either
way they will be assisted in this task by the marshal. The
“dibber” is then passed on to the next leg runners.
For the few teams which find themselves
in the mass starts for legs 4 and 5 those teams should be
at the start of their legs in plenty of time for an extra
“dibber” to be allocated to them.
At the finish the last leg runners will
need to have their “dibber”
interrogated and they will be given an instant printout of
all of their teams respective leg times.
Please take care of your “dibber”
a lost one means no times for your team and costs money! For
