All participants in the live and virtual race will receive a tech shirt and medal. The live 5K/5 Mile race will have placement awards. NEW THIS YEAR: Kids' age group awards and cash prizes for breaking the course record for the 5K and 5 mile races. The 5 Mile race is a 20-point race in the Central Valley Runner of the Year series.
