Goodyear Half Marathon & 10k

AWARDS

The Akron Marathon will offer awards in the Men’s, Women’s and Non-Binary Divisions. Athletes that wish to be eligible for Men’s & Women’s Division awards are required to follow World Athletics, USA Track & Field, and World Para Athletics rules for competition as male or female.  Sex will be used for the Men’s & Women’s Divisions and Gender Identity, for those opting to compete in that division, will be used for the Non-Binary Division.

Half Marathon 

Top three finishers for each of the following divisions will receive awards: 

  • Men’s Open Half Marathon  
  • Women’s Open Half Marathon  
  • Men’s Masters Half Marathon  
  • Women’s Masters Half Marathon 
  • Non-Binary   

10k 

Top three finishers for each of the following divisions will receive awards: 

  • Men’s Open 10k  
  • Women’s Open 10k  
  • Men’s Masters 10k  
  • Women’s Masters 10k 
  • Non-Binary 10k 

*For the June and August events, where no prize money is involved, participants can only win one award.  Overall placements are weighted more heavily than Master’s placements, therefore if you are an athlete over 40 years old and place in the top 3 overall, you will be awarded the Overall Placement that you earned.  Overall and Master’s winners will be removed from Age Group Awards. Non-Binary awards are based on chip time and will be mailed 6-8 weeks post-race, after results have been finalized. 

Age Group Awards 

The top three male and female finishers in all age categories will receive awards for both the Half Marathon and 10k. 

Age Groups are as follows: 19 and Under, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75-79  & 80+. You can only win one award (i.e. Overall Winners are not eligible for Age Group Awards). Awards are mailed 6-8 weeks post-race, after results have been finalized.
