Hi Frank,
Thank you for your e-mail. Thank you for your participation at the Inaugural Rock 'n' Roll Providence Half Marathon! We do provide the 'SAG wagon' at all of our events. Once participants are collected in the sag wagon, their chips do not continue to read on the correct splits & mats. Therefore, they are considered as a disqualified participant as not having completed the full 13.1 miles. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. Have a great day!
I got the same exact response as Frank. I am just not sure how accurate their claim is. The buses were moving slow enough that people could jump on and off at will in essense jumping off just before a split and still hitting the mat. I also found someone in the results that crossed the start, finish and only the 10k mats. Wouldn't they have been disqualified per the message we recieved?
