We are excited to announce that we are the newest sponsor for the Valley Health 10K race in 2024. Our goal with this contribution is to enhance the event by elevating the competitive spirit and overall participant experience.
We're excited to offer an enticing reward structure for 1st through 5th place overall male and female winners: 1st place - $1,500, 2nd place - $1,000, 3rd place - $750, and 4th place - $500, and 5th place - $300. Additionally, we're offering a payout of $500 each for the Masters and Grandmasters categories. Alongside elevating rewards for overall winners, we're committed to championing local talent. For the top three local male and female winners overall, we're presenting substantial prizes: $1,000 for 1st place, $750 for 2nd place, and $500 for 3rd place. Our goal is to ensure recognition and support for the local running community.
But the excitement doesn't stop there. We're going even farther with our sponsorship of the "Beat the Course Record" payout. Any male or female race winner who surpasses the current course record times will be rewarded with a generous amount of $5,000.
