5K Awards -
There will not be an awards ceremony on race day but there will be a spot at Athletes Village for award pickup. This will be the only time athletes can pick up their awards.
Both "net time" (the time from crossing the start line to crossing the finish line) and "gun time" (from the time the gun goes off to crossing the finish line) will be provided in the official results. All awards and placing are determined by the official "gun time". "Net time" is provided for the runner's convenience and is not used for placing.
Please note there is no awards ceremony except for the Top 5 Male/Female in the Half Marathon at 9:45AM at the stage (see below), BUT there will be an awards table in the Athlete Village. 5K Awards will be ready at the table starting at 8:15AM. We need to have the majority of athletes through first. We will print an updated 5K Awards sheet at 8:30AM. The Half Marathon Awards will start to become available at 9:30AM, then an updated list will be provided every half hour until 11AM. Please check the online results before going to the table to ensure you earned an award.
