Awards
-
Awards are determined by gun times per USATF guidelines for all sanctioned events. Our timing company (3 Way Racing) insists to conform to the USATF regulations.
The exception will be that gun time will be used to determine overall male and female finishers, whereas chip time will be used to determine age group winners.
