Results.RunWaterloo.com is our proprietary results site. We built it to introduce custom results features and to continue to innovate your results experience.
We know the site is richer than you might expect, and that you may have questions. We hope this helps!
Why are some names hyperlinked?
We have a very successful membership program with over 700 members. The perks of this program are many, and one of the most visible are the profiles that are hyperlinked in the results.
Where can I find photos?
Anywhere you see the camera icon, there are photos tagged in Flickr. If Flickr doesn’t display the photos, it is a Flickr error that can sometimes be solved by refreshing, but otherwise by waiting. Photos are not always available.
Where can I find video?
Anywhere you see a video camera icon, there is finish line video. When the video camera is beside a result, the video will be the finish line video for the participant. This is not available at every race.
How do I report an error or submit a correction?
How do I know if I earned an award medal?
What do the all of the icons mean?
We use a number of icons on the site to communicate information. Besides photo and video , in all event results we also use trophies to indicate 1st overall, and medals to indicate 2nd , 3rd , and 1st master . We also display stopwatch icons to show Run Waterloo Member PBs in that distance. In some views we also include team icons for relays and singlet icons as ENDURrun Gold Jerseys.
We launched this in 2019 and have continued to add icons ever since.
RW Boost has an additional set of icons; see next answer for more.
What is Boost?
Boost is a social competition for RW members. “Run fast. Run often. Earn points. Win stuff.” This program is free and offers thousands of dollars in free swag to our membership. Follow along race by race.

Which results are included?
How are the races timed?
What is the difference between 'Gun' time and 'Chip' time?
Your CHIP time is the time from when you cross the start line to when you cross the finish line (available where chip mats/antennas are at the start line). Your GUN time will be the time from the starting gun to when you cross the finish line. Your OFFICIAL time is your GUN time, which is used for race awards. Your CHIP time is for your own personal information. Some events have different timing policies which are clearly stated on the race pages (eg. Laurier Loop 2.5k, DTKMile, and several ENDURrun Stages).
Why don't I have a chiptime?
If your race provides chiptimes, but you do not have one, it could be for a variety of factors, including that you started the race late, the antennas missed you, or you weren’t wearing the chips correctly. We are always happy to add in your chiptime if you have it from your watch, or if video is available.
