We acknowledge and respect those who experience their gender identity in ways outside of the traditional male/female dichotomy, and are trying our best to provide non-binary opportunities in both the registration and results to reflect that. Currently, we are offering non-binary recognition for the top 3 overall in that category, and will expand to age groups as participation levels grow.

As well as 1st-3rd Overall for the non-binary category.
