All Day 25K Refreshments
Due to the tight timeline between some of the races, we encourage All Day 25K participants to hurry through the Secure Zone and report back to the All Day 25K lounge in a timely matter.
Team Competition
If you are participating in the All Day 25K, as well as partaking in the Team Competition, the scored race is that which correlates to your age. For example, if you are a 54-year old male, your finishing time in the Masters Men race will count towards the team competition award scoring
Awards & Medals
All Day 25K participants are still eligible for individual age group awards and medals. Age division awards are determined by tag time. To be timed and eligible for awards, you must run in the appropriate age group race, wear the tag on your shoe and cross the timing mat at the start and finish lines.
For All Day 25K participants, the scored race is that which correlates to your age. For example, if you are a 54-year old male, your finishing time in the Masters Men race will count towards the age award scoring.
If you are one of the first 250 people to cross the finish line in your appropriate age race, you may pick up your First 250 Medal at the Awards tent one hour after that race. Please DO NOT take a First 250 medal at the finish line. We will have your medal at the Awards tent after your last completed race. After you’ve completed your final race, please stop by the Awards tent on Roosevelt Street to pick up your All Day 25K Finisher’s Medal.
There are no additional Awards for the All Day 25K. It is an endurance challenge, not a competition.
