This page gives some information about the awards offerings and the ceremony time and locations. With the exception of the 2004 year, awards to the top three in each age group have been granted. Update [07/20/2008]--For 2008, awards will be given to the top 6 people in each age group! In addition, door prizes such as certificates, cash prizes, and free race entries have been given away. Awards cermonies have also included good food from Big Apple Bagels of Sun Prairie.
Eligibility for Awards. Running at least three races allows you to meet the minimum requirements for awards. For 2008 the best 12 races will count against your competitors just like in previous years.
New this 2008 year!: As a result of anticipated increasing numbers in the series this year, MARS is seeking out options (starting with this 2008 year) to increase the number of awards offered per age group. The idea being, as the number of members increases, the number of awards would at least increase by the same percentage (Update [07/20/2008]--Currently, for 2008, awards will be given to at least the top 6 people in each age group!). To allow for increased distinguishment for awards purposes, MARS may changedid change its points system this year to encompass a greater range over which competitive points are offered. As a result of this change, people will have a good chance of getting more points.
For information about the awards winners and other awards related info visit the News section.
Awards will be given to the top 6 people in each age group. All Awards offerings details for 2008 will be announced at least one month before the awards ceremony.
The Awards ceremony will be held at Fleet Feet Sports at 8440 Old Sauk Road on Wednesday November 28th 7:15PM. MARS people who have completed three or more races are welcome.
