Our awards ceremony is always one of the highlights of the race.  The prizes are interesting and in many cases, quite valuable.  In years past we have allowed participants to choose prizes from the prize table.  This year, however, due to the premiere of the Five-Year-Double, predetermined prizes will go to the top finishers.  Expect to see some serious swag and outrageous awards this year.  We are also counting on some celebrity presentations as we ring in the 5 year anniversary.

In the traditional 23 mile Winter Challenge prizes will be awarded in the following categories:

In our 5 Year Double, top prizes will go to the top two finishers in male, female and relay categories.  To all finishers of the Double, “Swag” will be awarded.

Victories in both the traditional Winter Challenge, and the Winter Challenge Double will be recorded on our Magnificent Trophy Cup!
