For those running in the Honolulu Marathon over the weekend, it was exhilarating but also confusing, as the use of a new disposable recording device caused problems. It turns out that the completion times of many runners were not recorded. Only 21,000 people were listed as finishing, while the tally at the start put the participants at around 27,000.

The problem arose when runners were asked to place a microchip on their shoes. Bad weather and improper use damaged some of the devices, preventing them from recording the times at the finish. Other racers found that the electronic times are inaccurate. Race officials plan to review the finish line footage to try to correct the errors. Runners with inaccurate times are urged to contact the Honolulu Marathon via e-mail.
