Everyone who completes at least one lap will earn a Space Race finishers medal plus a ribbon recognizing how far they went and which planet they reached. Awards will also be given to the top three male and female finishers. \n  \nThe SPACE RACE course (aka Observatory Park’s Planetary Trail) is flat aggregate surface outlined at http://bit.ly/spacerace2022-map and will be chip-timed for two hours by GCXC.
