Awards will be presented to the Top 3 Males and Females Overall, and Top 3 Males and Females in each age division. All participants who cross the finish line will receive a participation medal. RacePenguin will be used for race results. For questions, please contact the Licking Memorial Events Line at (220) 564-1560.
