Awards will be announced on the stage at Shrimpfest immediately following the completion of the second race. For those traveling from Chicago or the suburbs, Princeton has an Amtrak station. The start time of the race will allow for those taking the train from the city and suburbs ample time to jog to the starting line before the races begin.
