B-Tag
The B-Tag by ChronoTrack is the timing device used to score participants. The B-Tag is attached to the back of your runner bib. 

In order to receive an accurate time, please confirm your bib is:

Clearly visible on the FRONT of the torso.
Unaltered or modified. Do not fold or wrinkle or you risk breaking the timing chip.
Pinned in all four corners so the timing chip stays flat.
Not covered with jackets, water bottles, etc so as not to block the reading of the timing chip.

Races are held rain or shine. Track Shack Events (TSE) may delay, shorten, cancel, alter any event or course or delay the start time due to weather or for any other reasons within or not within the control of TSE. 

In the event of extreme weather conditions, TSE, as advised by the Police and Fire/EMS Departments, reserves the right to cancel the race or convert it to an untimed “fun run” without advance notice. Should this be necessary, participants will receive event amenities.

All entry fees are non-refundable, and may not be deferred toward a future event. 

Event Alert System
A color-coded Event Alert System (EAS) will communicate the status of course conditions to participants leading up to and on race day. The levels range from Low (green) to Moderate (yellow) to High (red) to Extreme (black) based primarily on the weather, as well as other conditions.

All participants should familiarize themselves with the Event Alert System prior to the race, remain alert for directions from race officials and announcers and take precautions to prepare properly for varying weather conditions on race day.

Course Cut Off Times
We are committed to providing access for runners, walkers and wheelchair athletes in our events. However, we must institute course time limits to adhere to municipal requirements.  Participants must be able to maintain a 15 minute per mile pace. Participants who are unable to maintain that pace will be directed on to the sidewalk by race officials. Those who finish outside of the time limit may not be recorded as official finishers and may not receive full on-course support from Aid Stations and traffic personnel. 

Stroller Policy
Safety for all participants is our first priority and we are happy to permit strollers for a fun family outing. With thousands of runners and walkers sharing the road, this event is not a place for speed with a stroller. The policy below will help keep our youngest and oldest participants safe and having fun.

  • Stroller/jogger operators start behind designated stroller signage.
  • Stroller/jogger operators may walk/jog no faster than 12 minute per mile, a safe operating speed. If your speed goes faster than 12 minutes per mile pace, you may be disqualified.
  • Stroller/jogger operators must yield the right of way to runners. Stroller/Joggers can tip easily and cannot turn quickly. Please do not weave through packs of runners. 

Strollers are strictly prohibited at the following races:

  • OUC Orlando Half Marathon
  • AdventHealth Corporate 5K
  • U Can Finish 5 Mile
  • Winter Park Road Race 10K
