Awards, course and policies
Age-group awards are offered for the 5k/10k/half events, including overall male and female, male and female masters (40+), and top-three male and female in multiple age brackets from "10 & Under" up to "80+." The kid's dash, 1-mile, and virtual events are untimed and do not qualify for age-group awards. Course maps are provided for each distance, but the course is subject to change. Bodies Race Company operates a strict no-refund policy; events proceed in most weather, with cancellation only if the venue requires it or if there are ice hazards, in which case entries will be moved to the virtual option.
