  • The second to last finisher overall gets a cheap horse racing trophy!
  • The fastest male & female who would not have received an award otherwise will receive a cheap "I Almost Got Shafted" trophy with a figurine by which we hope they will not be offended.

TECHNICAL NOTES: The second to last finisher and the 25th place finisher in each race are eligible to receive other trophies or certificates; all other award winners will receive one trophy or certificate only (no duplication).

Overall awards take precedence over other awards. Masters and Senior Masters are separate (which means that persons of Senior Masters age will not be given a Masters award, and vice versa). All of the aforementioned take precedence over the age group awards.

Thus, if, for instance, you're 43 years old and win the race, you only get the first place overall award; we're not giving you the Masters award (or an age group award) too. Anyone who complains about our awards or how we give 'em out will be publicly ridiculed or something.

If there are fewer than 25 finishers in a race, the prize money for 25th overall will be given to the final finisher. If the 25th finisher cannot accept prize money due to amateur status rules, he or she will receive the Oscar-like trophy only.

Our trophies have been ordered, and as usual, none of the trophies will have runner figurines on 'em. What will they have on 'em, you ask? Take a look!

2001 Stupid Little 10 Miler trophies
 
We buy our trophies from MrTrophy.com, a.k.a. AffordableAwards.com, a.k.a. Goodwill Awards of Woburn, MA. When we say we're giving out "cheap awards" at our race, we really just mean that the trophies are small and inexpensive. The trophies we've gotten from Goodwill Awards have always been of excellent quality, with genuine marble bases (not crummy plastic ones like most trophy stores offer these days) and nicely engraved plates. The prices at Goodwill Awards are also among the lowest around! The entry fees at our race would be a little higher if not for Goodwill Awards. (P.S. We're not connected with the business, nor do they give us a discount for saying the above! It's just that our site sees the occasional visitor who arrives here through a Web search on the terms "cheap trophies" or "cheap awards", and so I thought I'd be helpful and point such visitors toward the business through which we get our cheap trophies.)
