First aid is available at every mile marker with a medical field station at the finish line.

Keep in mind that the nearest drop out location may be behind you.
Splits/Mile Markers
Splits will be available at miles 1 and 5. Mile markers (colorful 7' plumes) will be posted at each mile on both sides of the road.
ChampionChip® Timing
The TC 10 Mile will be using the ChampionChip® Timing System provided by MTec (formerly ChampionChip MN). This will enable participants to get net and other split times. If you own a chip, please indicate chip number on the entry form. Chips must be picked up and tested at packet pick-up, as you will not be timed without a chip.
