SPECIAL AWARDS

A Here to There, LLC Event

 

In '08 the first place male and female finishers received LLBean Polartec fleece jackets (water repellant).  The other three award winners each received the same kind of fleece but watch caps.  All were embroidered with the name of their award, the event, the date, and the race logo by Marge Myers.  I do like the idea of giving an award that is actually useable, so think "cool gear/clothing!"

I'm pretty sure the '09 awards will be of similar quality as those in '08, but they will be different.  That way, if someone wins the same award more than once, they're not going to end up with a pile of jackets or hats or whatever else I come up with!  There are a couple of new awards added to the list for '09.  Here's the complete list:

1st place overall male finisher

1st place overall female finisher

oldest finisher under the clock

The Martin Luther King Day award - MLK day is on 21 January '08 - so the 21st finisher receives this one.

The Marty Duchow award goes to the first finisher who lives at 1,000 ft. or less elevation.  This is in honor of Marty who ran in both '06 and '07, finishing 3rd and 4th respectively.  Each year we've discussed the fact that he lives at sea level and has finished only behind runners who live at a mile (or more) high.  Such effort should be rewarded, so all you lowlanders get ready!

NEW: The Jeff Johnston award for the most improved runner in any two consecutive years.

ALSO NEW: The Bill Halm award for the first place finisher of the GT Double Masters Ultra.

 

This event is brought to you by Here to There, LLC, which organizes and promotes walks, treks and runs of varying lengths in beautiful places.
