2016 and beyond…
All racers (i.e., everyone who shows up) receive a Tuscobia logo items such as buff, headband, socks etc.. Also, we give all racers “Chamber Dollars” in lieu of a pre-race meal – these are redeemable pretty much anywhere in Rice Lake.
1st, 2nd, 3rd male & female in each race receive:
- a wood round award (see images below)
- a gift certificate from our run/bike/ski partner
- a pot of local honey
All racers are entered into the raffle where we give away goodies from partners including a grand prize which has to date been a fat bike frame set. The raffle typically takes place at the larger pre-race meeting (i.e., for the 160-mile bike and 80-mile racers). Must be present to win (or already on the course if you are a 160-mile foot/ski participant).
