The 15K offers a total of $1100 in prize money. Open awards for male and female are $200, $150, $100; male and female master awards are $100. Masters who finish first or second overall receive the open prize instead of a master prize. Ten year age group awards are given for top finishers in both races.

Participant limits are 250 for the 15K and 100 for the 5K.
