Post Race: You must stay in finishing sequence in the finish funnel until you have been given a finish token. You will receive a parkrun-style finish token which you must retain until you have been scanned by a volunteer. As soon as you can, after leaving the funnel, please find a scanning volunteer. That volunteer will scan your bib barcode first, and then your position token. This scanning is essential as it becomes part of the results data. Please do not go home until you have been scanned and do not leave with the token. Please do not duck out of or into the finish funnel.
