Has anyone out there had any experience of organising a kids fun run?  Can't get my head around how to record timings without using chips.  The finish line will be funnelled so runners should come through individually?  Any suggestions

grief,I am interested in other peoples reasons for running. First time - death of my best friend in 2000, ran the London Marathon three consecutive years to raise money for a related charity. (Certainly hadn't dealt the grief during the first one, sobbed
