The measurement system
The measurement of the time is solely carried out via the ChampionChip. The ChampionChip is an electronic transponder attached to your racing shoe that measures your personal racing time.

At about 50 % of all racing events in Germany and all major marathon races around the world, the times are determined via ChampionChip. Please attach the chip firmly to the lacing on the instep of your shoe (do not attach with metal), as otherwise no measurement of time will be made.
No time measurement or ranking without a chip!
