What to do with the recyclable timing chips?

Hello!
Many of you are probably like us at the TA office... for the past 2 years, you have been collecting the new recyclable timing chips: Cabot Trail, Johnny Miles, Boston, etc.
They are recyclable, but how?
In fact, the best thing to do with them is to give them back to the guys @ Atlantic Chip Timing, or bring them to the banquet (Nov 6th, only 100 tickets available, get yours soon!). A box will be at the banquet to collect the chips, and we will give them back to ACT.
Once they have many, they send them to The Netherland, where they are recycled.

Even more importantly, don't leave them on your shoes... if you do, then "Unknown Runner" will appear in the results with the same time as yours (assuming it is on the same side as your ankle chip!). We heard that Mr. Unknown Runner has been racing a lot this summer, more than the iRon MacTartan and Cookie Monster all together!

On this note... good luck to all of you racing at IMC or IML tomorrow!
And at the Cobequid Trail 10 km and half-marathon too!
(will track the first group online, and cheer "live" for the second group!)

MC :)
