Dear Girls on the Run Participants:

Congratulations on a job well done!  This great event had over 3,000 finishers and everyone should be proud of their accomplishments.

It is our regret that there is a delay with the posting of the final results.  Inadvertently, some finish times were left off of the listings. The issue has been resolved and updated results have been posted.  We regret any inconvenience.

If your time is not listed, please contact our head timer, Phil Quinn, at phil@charmcityrun.com. Please forward your name, bib number, school affiliation, and estimated finish time.  If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me directly at the number listed below.  Our organization is responsible for the timing of the event therefore it is best to contact us directly rather than Girls on the Run.

Dan Hicok will be on hand to capture the action at the Reindeer Romp. Dan is thrilled to be back for a third consecutive GOTR event. This time, because of the amazing growth of the event and to provide the highest quality photography, Dan has teamed up with Will Ramos and Brian Knight of Will Ramos Photography. With three photographers, we will get much better coverage of the event. We hope to catch you in action. Race photos will be available at:  GOTR Reindeer Romp Photos

RACE PACKET PICK UP/REGISTRATION:  Race packet pick-up will be at Reston Town Center on Thursday, December 6 from 4pm-8pm and Friday December 7 from 12pm-8pm at 11911 Freedom Dr
(next to Wachovia Bank).  Registration for the race is available at Packet Pick-up.

Race day and packet pick-up is at Reston Town Center from 7:00-7:45 am.  All registered runners will receive a long-sleeve t-shirt* and timing chip.  There is NO discount for using your own champion chip.

*subject to sizing availability. 

What is Chip Timing?

All registered runners will receive a small, black, plastic "chip" that will need to be attached to the runner's ankle or shoe and worn through the duration of the race.  There is a small computer chip located in each of these chips, which will record the exact time (as the racer runs across a timing mat) the runner crossed both the start and finish line, providing a more accurate race finish time.

What do I do with the chip after the race?

Once runners have crossed the finish line, they will be directed into a coral where they will be assisted in removing the chip from their ankle.  DO NOT LEAVE THE RACE GROUNDS WITH THE TIMING CHIP.  If you are outside of the chip-removal area and realize you still have your chip, please do NOT give it to any volunteer.  Please go back to the chip-removal coral and place the chip in one of the available buckets.  If you find a chip after the race is over, please contact us immediately and mail it to the office.   All chips MUST be received by our office by December 21.

What happens if I don't return the chip?

Each chip we do not return to the timing company costs us $65 per chip.  If your chip has not been returned to GOTR by Dec 21, you will need to pay the $65.
