Rubbish Removal Contest
Each team will receive two 55-gallon trash bags in their race day packets. The trash bags are for trash and items that can be recycled. Teams will collect trash, either created by the team or picked up along the course, throughout the day. Each team competing in this competition will weigh their rubbish at the end of the day at the After Party and Race Day Expo.
Points will be awarded as follows:
1/2 lb. of trash = 1 point
1/2 lb. of recyclables = 3 points
The top three teams with the most points will be recognized for their efforts at the awards ceremony.
Best Team Costume Contest
To win the Team Costume Contest, each team member must be wearing a costume and run in the costume. Teams wearing costumes at the start but removing them during the race will be disqualified from the competition.
The best team costume award will be voted on by your running peers. Group pictures of each team competing in the costume contest can be taken the night before or at Rosenblatt before the race. A complete voting photo sheet will be distributed to every team at the Sarpy County Fair Grounds, Exchange Point 12. Each team will then have the opportunity to vote on the best costume and turn in their voting photo sheet at the finish line.
Winners will be announced at the awards ceremony.
Note: Teams competing in this competition, please arrive at the staging area early to take your competition photos if they weren’t taken the night before.
