Caps 'n Chips
Artist's impression of Strewth - who has been researching running caps recently - finishing Sunday's Fun Run.
Canberra Times 10k Fun Run
Timing chips were introduced for last year's run and proved very successful once again this year. The official results come in time chip order. In other words, if you sprinted to the line with someone and their time is way different from yours, and therefore their place as well, it's OK, they simply crossed the start line with that margin of difference. Conversely, if someone is given the same time as you and you never saw them, it's because your starting and finishing margins were the same. Simple really! And a very good system. Just don't ease off if you are ahead of a rival who has caught you. You need to get away again!
