Awards, Timing & Qualifying
AR50 will be using the ChronoTrack D-tag (disposal tag) timing system. You must wear your D-tag on your shoe. If you do not wear your D-tag on your shoe, you will not receive an official time nor be eligible for an award.
If you are competing for a top 3 overall award, please line up in front as you will be scored on "gun time." All age division awards will be based on chip time.
Please seed yourself accordingly at the start. If you are not running a 6 minute pace, please do not line up on the front line.
Overall awards to the top male and female. Age group awards will be given to the top 3 in each ten year age division for both male and female.
All official finishers (under 13 hours) receive a finisher's jacket. You will be presented with your finisher's jacket when you cross the finish line.
A reminder that while we must order the jackets well before the event, we will do our very best to insure that you receive the jacket size you requested. If you are not happy with the way your jacket fits, you must wait until the event is over before we can exchange your jacket for a different size if the size is available. Shirts can be exchanged for a different size at the finish line, depending on availability.
"Hit Your Split" Sponsored by 
As you cross the timing mat at Beal's Point (Mile 26.7) runner splits will be recorded. Hit your Split at: 2:59, 3:59, 4:59 and Last Split and receive a Patagonia surprise! Winners will be announced as the results are available at the finish line.
(if desired numbers are not hit exact, closest runner splits numbers will win)
Spirit Awards
Two spirit awards will be presented to a runner who demonstrates courage, determination and the "spirit of having fun" while en route to the finish line.
