Auszeichnungen

All finishers in both races will receive a finisher’s medallion. We award a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishing plaque, in five year age categories, in the Full Marathon, and the Half Marathon, Men and Women divisions.The age group breakdown goes as follows, 10 to 14 -15 to 19 - 20 to 24 - 25 to 29 - 30 to 34 - 35 to 39 , and so on. We also award four Masters runners, one for each race. That being said, we won't double dip on winners. The first place finisher in either race, or gender, regardless of age, is the overall winner, and will be awarded the first place trophy. If they happen to be a masters age runner, then the Masters plaque would then go to the second runner over forty in either race or gender. If the masters runner does happen to finish in the top three of his age group, the next three finishing runners would then be awarded 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.That also holds true for our four overall winners. Whatever age group they are in, they receive the overall winner plaque, and the next three finishers are awarded 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. We appreciate all of our runners, and want to award as many of them as possible for their effort.

Transport

Bus Transportation to the Start: The bus loading area is the Ashton Elementary School parking lot. The school is the first building on the south side of Main Street as you turn off Highway 20. It is directly across Highway 20 from Dave's Jubilee Super Market.The first bus leaves for the start of the marathon at 5:00 a.m. with the last bus leaving at 5:20 a.m.The first bus for the Half Marathon will leave between 6:30-7:00 a.m. with the last bus leaving at 7:30 a.m.Vehicle parking is available around the Elementary School and side streets. The finish line is at the city park, which is only two blocks away, so some runners park down around the city park and then walk to the school to catch the bus. That makes their vehicle much closer to hobble to after the race, if needed!You may also drive to the starting line of either race. Support vehicles are welcome. We do divert the traffic around the first nine miles of the Full Marathon to keep down the dust. WE DO NOT PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION BACK TO THE STARTING LINE AREAS, RUNNERS NEED TO PROVIDE SUPPORT DRIVERS.
