- According to USATF rules, Overall Awards are based on Gun Time and Age Group Awards are based on chip time.
- Awards Ceremony will be on The Main Stage. Start time depends on when runners that could place 1-3 in their AG have completed the course. Awards cannot be given until results are final. Results are not final until the timing company prints them out on paper.
- The Emcees will call Top Finishers Overall, Masters, and Team Challenge winners on The Main Stage.
- Age Group Medals will be handed out at the Awards Table by The Main Stage.
- Top Finishers Overall & Masters receive trophies and/or plaques only and not an additional age group medal; that’s called double-dipping.
- Awards must be claimed on race day or can be delivered at an additional cost. Tap here to order.
