SLOT ALLOCATION POLICY:
At least one slot shall be allocated to each five-year age group category in which any age group athlete sends in an application, both male and female, per the age group categories listed above. If there are no athletes entered in the race in a particular age group, then that slot will be moved to the largest populated age group in that same gender. For additional age group slots, slot allocation shall be representative of the actual number of age grouper applicants in each category in the race. As an example, if 8% of the age-group applicants are females 40-44, then 8% of these slots would be allocated in the female 40-44 category.
SLOT acceptance POLICY:
- You MUST be present at the Timberman 70.3 Awards Ceremony to accept your slot.
- Should you accept your slot, you must present a check for $275 written to EndorFUN Sports, OR $275 in cash.
NO EXCEPTIONS. Credit Cards are not accepted.
- You will be required to fill out your slot acceptance paperwork at the Awards Ceremony.
- To expedite the process, we will be working to allow athletes qualified for a slot the opportunity to accept their slot throughout the race day, once final results are tallied.
