Organiser's Description
START YOUR 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION WITH US!
The Age-Graded 4-Miler is a unique, event designed to completely level the playing field.
It differs from other races. Runners start at a time determined by their gender and age. The goal is for everyone to finish close to one another.
The winner is the first person to physically cross the finish line, regardless of chip time.
The race uses specialized handicap tables based on age-group records.
The results will show the runners' chip times.
GIFTS
All runners receive prizes since all participants are encouraged to contribute unique used items to the prize pool. Past prizes have included
1970s baseball cards, a Simpsons dart board, a New Guinean sheath. More conventional prizes also are awarded, including cherry, apple, and
blueberry pies in commemoration of the nation's birthday.
Bring a gift so you can get one!
After the race enjoy snacks from Chomps, which was generous enough to sponsor the run.
The race is part of the DCRRC's Bunion Derby [https://dcroadrunners.org/races/bunion-derby-series/] Series; for more information/rules, visit the race series rules page [https://dcroadrunners.org/races/series-rules/].
