The official time starts at the command of "GO," and your time ends as your torso crosses the finish line. 5] Only people who have filled out a race application and signed the waiver, therefore entered participants should cross the finish line to be counted and only when they have completed the entire distance. Individuals under the age of 18 MUST have a parent or their coach sign the waiver. Do not cross the finish line if you have not completed the mapped out route for the course.
