 🏆 Criteria for Selecting the Winners

• Our Strava leaderboard will showcase the top performances, with prizes awarded based on these three criteria:

1. 🥇 First Place on the Leaderboard: The runner with the fastest overall finish time on race day will be awarded first place. All times will be tracked through Strava, so make sure to log your run there to qualify!
2. 🌱 Best Personal Record (PR) Improvement: For experienced runners with a previous 5K time logged on Strava or registered in advance, we’ll recognize the highest improvement percentage (delta) over their previous PR. The runner with the greatest improvement will be awarded the Coros Gift Card.
3. 💪 Consistency in Pace Control: The runner who demonstrates the most consistent pacing throughout their run will be awarded the third prize. This will be based on the smallest variation between splits on Strava, showing control and endurance.

 📏 Methodology

• To ensure accuracy, we’ll be using Strava to track race times. Participants should enable GPS and connect to Strava during their race, as verified times on our Strava leaderboard will be considered. For those without access to Strava, you may submit alternative proof of your time, such as a screenshot or snip from your GPS-enabled running app or watch.

• After submitting your results, you’ll have the option to upload a photo as verification. Accepted proofs include:

  • A screenshot from Strava, a GPS watch app, or any reliable running app showing your race distance and time.

  • Additional photos from your race (optional), which you can upload to share your experience with the community!
