Awards to be won
While there are any number of participants who legitimately compete for the $300 cash prize offered to the runner who bests the course record of 31:26 for men or 36:46 for women, the emphasis is on best efforts.
The first, second and third place trophies crafted by local artisan Merrill Strange for males and females in each of now 12 categories also acts as something of an incentive.
And perhaps the Eva Smith Memorial trophies to the first finishing Rappahannock County resident (male and female) also adds some fleetness of foot to a field which is otherwise rather short on attitude but long on ...well... perseverance.
If you are not currently dead, the odds are good that youll be able to seriously compete.
In addition to the awards, tshirts and the cheers of the teeming millions lining the race course, for the sixth time we are offering drawings for gifts donated by local businesses.
Local B&Bs including Middleton Inn will offer overnight accommodations for two; Four and Twenty Black
