NO WALKERS OR EXTREMELY SLOW RUNNERS PLEASE!!! Since this is a ten mile evening race, it will be dark by the time walkers and extremely slow runners finish. This creates a safety hazard. Consequently, a time cap of 2 hours and 30 minutes is necessary. When the race clocks reach 2 hours 30 minutes Compuscore will begin the process of breaking down the finish line, medical assistance will leave, and the refreshment area will close.

AWARDS High quality heavyweight, multi color print T-shirts to the first 1000 online registrants. Shirts not claimed by pre-registrants at race packet pick-up will be distributed to race volunteers.

There will be male and female divisions for the following categories:

Trophies first through tenth place finishers. Trophies to first and second place winners of the following age groups: (16 and under), (17-19), (20-24), (25-29), (30-34), (35-39), (40-44), (45-49), (50-54), (55-59), (60-64), (65 -69), (70 and over). No duplication of awards. The top ten finishers in the male and female divisions are not eligible for age group trophies.

Team plaques and individual medals to each scoring member in the following categories:

First and second place running clubs. First place beach patrol. First place corporate team. Awards ceremony will be held at the beach patrol headquarters, 44th Street and Promenade, at 7:30 PM. The beach patrol does not mail trophies, medals or plaques to individuals who are not able to stay for the awards ceremony.

TEAMS AND BEACH PATROLS The number of entries allowed per team or beach patrol is unlimited. The first four runners across the finish line will score for a team or beach patrol. All members must complete their own registration form.

True team scoring, also known as cross country scoring, is the method of scoring that will be applied to determine winners. To represent a particular beach patrol or corporate team a runner must have, in 2025, worked 30 days prior to race day for the organization being represented.
