Awards: Instead of awards, this race will give money back to participants! Here is how it will work. For every entry, $5 will go into the pot of money to be given out at race to participants. The more laps you do, the more money you can get back. Money given back will be anywhere from $1 to $35. We will have a better idea of how much money is in the pot closer to race day. Additional info will go out week of race to participants.
Timing: The race will be for 60 minutes, we will count number of laps race via rubber bracelets given after each lap. When 60 minutes is up, participants will let us know how many bracelets they collected. From there, we will figure up who will get what amount of money. In the event of any ties, we will use the Wheel of Names website for tie breakers! Just an FYI, we have never tried a race like this before so bare with us as we hope everything works out as planned!
