They line up by estimated times, usually in 15 minute intervals (with or without pace bunnies), fastest runners in front. If you go to the <A HREF="http://www.sportstats.ca/display-results.php?lang=eng&racecode=41616" REL="nofollow">results page</A> you'll see the top runners have gun times that match their chip times.

Last year in the half marathon here Alex's difference was only 10 seconds and he placed 264th, Mark Victor, who placed 247th, took close to a minute to get to the start line.
