Timing/Awards/Swag
TIMING In an effort to keep race costs as low as possible, timing will be done manually.
It is YOUR responsibility to make sure your loops are recorded. Make sure to stop at the timing tent and ensure your loop is recorded. Not doing so may result in loops going unaccounted for.
Please inform the timing tent when you are officially finished if departing the course before your allotted race time is over.
Inform the timing crew when you are officially finished if departing the course before the race time is up.
For example, if you are running the 6 Hour race. If you begin at 9am and complete 2 loops, then rest, then complete another 2 loops then decide to stop but it is not yet 3pm (race finish time) you simply inform the timing crew that you are finished at 4 loops.
Relay Teams may divide up the loop however they wish as long as each member runs the loop at least once. A member does not need to be continuously on the course..
AWARDS: AWARDS: Sustainable and unique prizes will be given to first, second and third place male and female who accumulate the most loops in their chosen time frame. There will also be a group prize for the relay team with the most loops.
SWAG: Will be provided for all participants who registered before swag cutoff.
