YES! I did 21Km and the race number has a chip attached to it. And that is how after a few weeks I will download a certificate that will show how long I took to finish the race. See last years.. (Don’t laugh at my time, it is proportional to the size of my Kitambi!!)  The man who marries a beautiful woman, and the farmer who grows corn by the roadside have the same problem

Every race number has a chip emended in it. All of them. The chip is not something you are given on the sidelines of the race number, its part of it. Plus, you don't give out the chip after the race; after you cross the finish line, the info needed has already been picked and the chip is not needed any more. That is why its possible to access your certificate online complete with the time you spent on the road.

Your kitambi isn't as big as it looks (I can see it from here). 21km is not for the feint hearted and finishing is in itself an achievement. Lord, thank you!

haha... the race number has a chip behind it... that communicates with some mats. I saw one mat huko forest road and another kwa finish line (cannot remember seeing one at the beginning). So yeah - it's not a myth! kwani how were we able to follow FLOKE when she was kwa london marathon? I wish they could open up the API and have more of these mats around... some interesting things could be built to suit our society that loves showing off everything we are doing.

For those who registered can't someone just post the picture of the chip on the number to kill this 'chimp' debate. Or the debate is just a bragging smoke screen of who spent 2 hours running 2 kilometers.

Well done to all Wazua runners for "giving back sight" and representing the republik. As for Njogu....no words can explain his foolishness.I pray that his kids do not take after him. Love is beautiful and so are those who share it.With Love, Marriage is an amazing event in ones life time, the foundation of joy, happiness and success.
