Awards
All Half Marathon runners who finish within the official course cut-off will receive a unique finisher’s award. The post-race awards will be held at the Soldier Canyon picnic area in Lory State Park.
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.
Overall & Age Group Prize Structure
There will be 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place overall awards for the top men’s and women’s finishers.
Age group awards for the top 3 men and women in each of the following age groups (overall winners not eligible):
- Under 40
- 40 – 49
- 50 – 59
- 60 and Over
As well as 1st-3rd Overall for the non-binary category.
The Half Marathon awards will be held at 11:00am.
