Are there any prizes for winners and is there an awards ceremony?

Age Group Winner’s Ceremony and Awards

For each division, an age group winner’s ceremony will be held to recognize the top three finishers (1st to 3rd place) on the podium. Winners will be presented with a winner’s flag as a symbol of their achievement. 

Please note that uncollected winner’s flags cannot be mailed post-event. It is the responsibility of the recipients to collect their awards during the ceremony.
