Yes! NEW for Season 6, The Office 5K will use chip start timing. Your individual race time will begin when you cross the starting line, rather than when the starting gun goes off, giving participants a more accurate race time from start to finish. Pre-registration guarantees a chipped race bib. Chipped bibs will be available to day-of registrants while supplies last, so be sure to register in advance if you want to guarantee chip timing. We heard your feedback, and we’re excited to bring this improvement to Season 6!
