Awards will be presented to the overall male and female winners, as well as the top three male and female finishers across various age groups, ensuring recognition for a wide range of participants. Packet pickup is conveniently offered on Friday, June 5th, at the Landa Retail Center and again on race day morning at Pavilion 4 in Landa Park.
