USATF ASSOCIATION medals will be awarded, in 5 year age groups, to Georgia residents and to the top three open (19-29) in each event. Out of state participants will receive comparable place awards, but may not displace a Georgia athlete. USATF Regional Medals will be awarded in the same manner.
$100 will be awarded to the masters male athlete and the masters female athlete with the best age-graded performance.
This event is sanctioned by USA Track and Field, and USATF Rules apply.
Deadline for entry is April 8, 2008.
Because of problems that arose when late entries were allowed last year, there will be NO exceptions to the entry deadline! Any changes in events MUST be made by April 7, also, NO exceptions.
EMT will be on site, as will sports massage therapist (no charge to the athlete).
Entry fee: $20 for first event, includes SE fee and T-shirt; $5.00 for each other event.
10,000M run, 5000M walk and 5000M run: all age groups will compete in a single event. Age group identification will be on runners’ backs.
*Preliminaries:
In the 10 years this meet has been held, there have never been more than eight (8) competitors within a 5-year age group in a lane race. Therefore, no preliminaries are on the schedule. SHOULD it happen that nine (9) from one age group register for a single lane event, the meet director will contact each athlete involved and provide the time for that preliminary.
RELAYS: Thanks to our timing system, relay teams within the 10-year age groups for masters can be organized on the day of the event. There will be no charge for the relay team. However, if any individual participating in a relay is not registered for another event, he/she must pay the first event fee ($20).
NOTE 1: Age groups may be combined within events in the interest of time and/or competition, but awards will not be affected.
NOTE 2: In lane races, runners must run in assigned lane! This is extremely important when using an automatic timing system. There will be no exceptions.
