FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

        ChampionChip® Chosen by World Marathon Majors® for 2008
    Reliability Is Paramount for World's Most Prestigious Marathons

March 25, 2008—The five commercial marathons which comprise the World 
Marathon Majors®, the richest and most prestigious series of marathon races 
in the world, will rely on ChampionChip® timing for 2008.  With a 
$1,000,000 series purse to be awarded to the overall points winners, plus 
millions more in prize and bonus money distributed by the individual events 
throughout the year, there is no room for error in timing and scoring.

"With nearly 14 years of real world timing experience behind us 
ChampionChip® is by far the most tested and trusted form of active sports 
timing," says Mike Burns, President of ChampionChip USA.  "Nothing combines 
reliability with accuracy like ChampionChip®."

The five races in the World Marathon Majors —the Boston Marathon, Flora 
London Marathon, real,- Berlin Marathon, Bank of America Chicago Marathon, 
and ING New York City Marathon—had a combined total of  152,000 finishers 
in 2007, each one of them timed with a ChampionChip® transponder.  From the 
lashing rains of Boston to the historic heat of Chicago, ChampionChip® 
equipment quietly recorded each finisher with little fanfare.

"It just works," says Burns.  "It's one less worry for these race 
directors."
