For those of you who stuck around after the race for the awards ceremony, you learned that we tried
this year to maximize the number of different people who received a prize. How did we do this? Simple.
If you were an overall winner (male, female, male with dog, female with dog) or an age-group winner, we
didn't give you a second (or third) prize if you won in another category.
For instance, in the first year of the race, Sarah Gardner & Foxie were the overall winners in the female
category. So they won three prizes: one for overall female, one for overall female with dog, and one for Sarah's
age group. Some racers thought it would be nice to try to spread the wealth a bit, and we agreed,
so we implemented the new system. Hope that clears things up a bit about the awards ceremony.
This page, however, is purely about results, not prizes, so we will list the winners solely based on their times,
without tweaking anything.
We begin with the winners in various categories.
