T-Shirts
All pre-registered participants will receive a T-Shirt along with food and other free stuff. T-Shirts are guaranteed only for pre-registered runners and walkers. T-Shirts will be available for non registered runners and walkers as supplies last. No orders will be taken on race day.
Categories
The top 3 runners in each age category will receive an award. Categories will be split by gender:
18 and under, 19-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60+
Walkers will not be timed. All participants in the 1.5 mile walk will be entered in a drawing for prizes.
Timing
Chip timing services for Run-Shunga will be provided by Oz Endurance Racing. Chip timing systems require that runners wear a small, lightweight chip on their shoe that uniquely identifies them as they cross the finish line. Chip timing electronically handles the task of collecting and processing results at the end of the race. Chips will be provided to runners the morning of the race and must be returned at the conclusion of the race. We are very excited to offer Run-Shunga runners this service!
