Awards will not be given out at the race because of the race falling on a holiday, which causes most people to not stay for the award ceremony. Instead Awards will be available for pick up starting Monday, Dec. 3rd at Forma Gym, 1908 Olympic Blvd. Walnut Creek Ca. If you live out of the area you may call Forma Gym or email the race director at info@formagym.com to have your medal mailed.
