Trophies this year are made by local artist Meryl Strange of Viewtown. This year the trophy is shaped like a mug with the hare and tortoise motif on the front. Bands of red, yellow and blue circle the top of the mug, representing the place the winner holds in the race.
Larger mugs of the same design are for Eva Smith Memorial winners.
The monetary reward for the record breaking runner has grown to $300. If both male and female records are broken, winners will split the reward, evenly.
Records for the race were set in 1983 by Kim Beylea of Winchester with a time of 36:46 and for the men in 1986 by Steve Pinard with a time of 31:26.
This year the race is sponsored by several groups or organizations. The Inn at Little Washington is the major sponsor and will donate T-shirts for the first 300 runners to cross the finish line. Liberty Savings Bank of Warrenton provides the financial reward for record breakers and Rappahannock National Bank has provided funds to support the making of the trophies. Ice cold beverages for all participants are provided by Pepsi Cola.
