Got your eye on the prize? Recognition will be given to the top three male and female 10K finishers of each age group listed below, with awards for male and female age group winners. Please note that the 5K is non-competitive; awards will not be given.

Awards will also be given in the following categories:

• Largest corporate, family, or school group
• 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place teams (see details below)

Team finishes will be evaluated based on the four fastest team members, regardless of the size of the entire team. The finish times of these four team members will be added together, with prizes going to the fastest three teams.
