Half Marathon : Awards and Records

All half marathon entrants receive a short-sleeved T-shirt. A special commemorative medallion is awarded to all half marathon finishers.

Open Awards

Prize money and certificates are awarded to the first three male and first three female half marathon finishers. Open prize money doubles if the finishing time is a Quality time (see below):

Place Award Quality Bonus
1st Place $100 $100
2nd Place $50 $50
3rd Place $25 $25

Masters Awards

$50 and a certificate are awarded to the first male and first female masters marathon finishers. Masters runners who place in the top three in the open division receive the larger of the two monetary awards. No double dipping!

Quality Time Bonuses

Using the 1994 WAVA Age-Graded Tables, the Brookings Marathon has established a Quality bonus to recognize the top three finishers should they perform near the National Class level or better. Any of the top three finishers who complete the half marathon at or better than the following times receive the bonus:

Age Men Women
39 and under 1:15:00 1:25:00
40-49 1:20:00 1:30:00
50-59 1:30:00 1:40:00
60 and over 1:40:00 1:55:00

Age Group Recognition

Recognition is provided to the top three male and female finishers in the following age groups:

19 and under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60 and over.

Runners receiving open and masters awards are not included in the age group awards.

Course Record Awards

$300 is awarded to any runner who sets a new open record (male, female).
