Walkers will have two bibs, the bib with the chip should be worn on your front, the other on your back. Are the miles marked? Yes, every mile will be marked on the right hand side of the road with a sign. There will also be stand-up makers each mile. There are also markers at the 5, 10, and 15K marks.
