WHY VINTAGE AWARDS?
Medals are usually ordered at least 3-4 months prior to race day for overseas production and international shipping. On-going supply chain issues increased the necessary lead time for us to receive awards in a timely manner. Instead of canceling this race as COVID-19 cases were rising in Florida, we opted to produce the race, if at all possible. Our solution was to offer vintage medals that we have in inventory so all our athletes could head home with something to show for their effort. We believed that athletes would understand the situation, but prefer to finally race again and earn a vintage medal of their choice compared to not racing at all. We hope you agree.
OVERALL AND AGE GROUP AWARDS WILL BE MAILED ASAP AFTER THE RACE.
