ChampionChip Help!

Dear knowledgeable runner readers:

I picked up my race packet today at the pre-race “Expo” and when I got home I read in the “official program” on page 27 the following:

Every runner's race packet includes a ChampionChip. You must activate it at the chip scan booth located in the Packet Pick-up area during the Runners' Expo.

Um, what? No one mentioned this when I picked up my packet and I didn't see a “scan booth” anywhere. The website doesn't mention “activation.” Can anyone tell me anything about this? Do I need to return to the Expo tomorrow to get this thing activated, or what?

UPDATE: Everyone said I needed to go back. So I did, the chip is scanned, and I think I'm set.
