Age Categories & Prizes

Run Army is all about participation, achievement, and challenging yourself. However, we also recognise outstanding performances across several event categories.

On event day, the Run Army Shield will be awarded to the overall first-place male and female in the 10km Run. Podium medals will also be presented to the overall first, second, and third-place male and female finishers in the 5km, 10km, 15km Chief’s Challenge, and Wheelchair events.

Participants in the 2.4km event will receive a finisher medal and have access to timed results, although podium medals will not be awarded for this distance.

Online results will include age category rankings, allowing participants in the 5km and 10km events to compare their performance against others in their age group and see how they stack up.
