A LITTLE MORE
FUN FACTOR
In both the Men's 5K and the Women's 5K at the
2011 Syracuse Festival of Races, we're offering runners who've
never dreamed of winning performance-based prize money the chance to do
exactly that. There's no trick here. SFoR 5K runners can know the AnyRunner Prize Money™ times months before race day. They can practice running exactly the pace that they're shooting for. They can wear their watches during the race. Our race volunteers will still give all of our participants the most accurate splits they can throughout the course. Runners can have friends all along the course telling them whether they need to speed up or slow down. Runners can even wait until they see how it's going in the middle of the race to decide which AnyRunner Prize Money™ times they're shooting for. However, for reasons of safety and fairness (not to mention the rules of the sport), participants MAY NOT impede the progress of any other runner; participants MAY NOT cross the finish line more than once; and participants MAY NOT "kill time" standing, walking, or jogging in place in the finishing stretch. (Anyone who violates any of these three rules will be subject to disqualification by race officials.) You just have to be the FIRST official finisher
"gun-timed" in Please keep in mind that road racing rules stipulate that any fraction of a second is rounded up to the next whole second for official scoring and record-keeping purposes. For example, if you cross the finish line in 27:18.1, or 27:18.4, or 27:18.7, your official time will be 27:19--and the official results will quite properly place you ahead of someone who crosses in 27:19.00. Please also be aware that the digital display clock above the finish line will display the approximate "gun time," but it will not be precisely synchronized with the official gun time for the race. Thus, the digital clock above the finish line won't be a precise indicator of anyone's finish time. And please keep in mind that prize money is for being the first to be "gun-timed" in exactly the announced AnyRunner Prize Money™ times. No prize money will be awarded for an AnyRunner Prize Money™ time at which we have no official finisher. You can read more about AnyRunner Prize Money™ at our AnyRunner Prize Money™ Questions & Answers page. Those points noted, go
ahead and be the FIRST to finish in your chosen
AnyRunner Prize Money™
time, and you'll head
home from the Syracuse Festival of Races as one of the world's first
winners of After all, Isn't It Time YOU Turn Pro?™
