Some Runners May Have Faster Times

A glitch in the starting mat may have caused some runners to get their net times recorded, rather than their chip times. Note the following, sent out this evening:

At the start of the 2007 ING New York City Marathon, there was a technical problem that caused your start time to not be recorded when you crossed the starting line. Since this affects your finish time, we would like to make a correction.

Please reply to this e-mail and indicate either:
* How long it took you to cross the starting line after the sound of the start cannon
* Your net finish time (chip time) for the race (i.e. the time on your watch)

Please send this information to us as soon as possible, so that we can update our website results and print your certificate for the race. In order to have this information reflected on your certificate, we need
your response before November 13.
