(these long sleeve shirts WILL BE YOUR FAVORITES!)

๐ŸŽƒ~Every finisher gets a Scoogie designed
huge 4" finisherโ€™s medal!

๐ŸŽƒ~Every runner registered in time gets a vanity bib
(your name/nick-name) with a
Bucks County Beer & Hewn Spirits coupon on it!)

AWARDS: 
Overall winner (male and female), plus top three males and females in each age category: 19 & under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70 & over. No mailing of awards or shirts.

Again, no mailing of awards or shirts. If you have to leave the race early for ANY reason, you must notify us to save your award.  If you do not, we cannot hold/store awards and it will likely be given to a race day entry or someone else. It is simply too much to hold/store & inventory the awards. 

Note: If you are registered for this race and you registered in time to choose a t shirt size BUT you are unable to run for whatever reason, you will NEED TO CONTACT us BEFORE RACE DAY and let us know if you'd like us to hold on to your reserved giveaway (t shirt) for you to pick up at a future Scoogie Event.
