| Post Race Awards, Food & Swag: | Medals & Awards: IMPORTANT: Before you go on make sure you read our Awards Policy! All athletes receive a finishers medal. Awards for both the sprint and Olympic distances will be announced at 10:30 am. We realize that the faster athletes may need to wait a bit for the awards ceremony. In fairness to everyone, and to promote sportsmanlike conduct, please get comfortable, stick around, and cheer those on that may not be as fast as you are. They are working just as hard, and in some cases much harder to get to the finish line and deserve to be cheered as much as everyone else. Awards will be given for the following placements: 1st, 2nd & 3rd overall male & female for Sprint & Olympic receive a trophy. 1st, 2nd & 3rd male & female age group winners receive award plaques. Age groups will be in increments of 10. Under 19, 20 to 29, 30 to 39, etc... up to 69, and then one group for 70 and over. 1st, 2nd & 3rd overall relay teams.
Due to the limited number of participants in the clydesdale and athena groups we are not able to provide separate awards for these divisions. They will still receive their USAT rankings as such, however will be grouped into the regular awards for the awards ceremony. We appreciate your undertanding, and assure you that we will watch and make sure to change this policy as the event grows. Post Race Food: Pancakes & Breakfast Sausage Brunch, Peanut Butter, Bananas/Fruit, Bread and/or Bagels. Post Race Swag: Post race swag will include the T-Shirts. You will receive both the T-Shirt and your finishers medal when you hand in your timing chip at the finishers line. Here's a preview of last years shirt and medal. We will post updated artwork for 2011 swag as we get closer to the event.
