Upon finishing the race, join fellow participants at the EXPOsed Afterparty! Check out our FAQ page for quick answers to the most commonly questions about Race Day.
Winning Time Canada Timing Chip
A Winning Time chip, worn on an easy-on/easy-off shoelace strap, will track your start and finish times electronically and provide accurate results. Both runners and walkers use this system. With the Winning Time timing system, each athlete receives fast and accurate net times. Results will be available at the post-race party and online the week following The Affair.
Pick up your timing chip with your bib number at The Underwear Affair EXPOsed on July 9, 2011. Chips are non-transferable. You MUST use the chip issued to you. DO NOT switch chips or let someone else run with your chip.
