3. Approximate time 44 minutes (if you run 5 km in 23 minutes)
4. Approximate time 50 minutes (if you run 5 km in 26 minutes)

The top 3 finishers among men and the top 3 among women in the overall Competitive rating receive special cups (as was previously the case in the Elite category).
Usually in the Elite category there is a prize money for the top 3 among men and women, but considering that our event is a charity, there is no prize money for the winners, and these funds will also be sent to help the military.
All other participants of the Competitive category in the general ranking will compete for awards in age groups. Top-3 finishers among men and top-3 among women receive additional medals
Age groups:
14-17 years
18-24
25-29
30-34
35-39
40-44
45-49
50-54
55-59

The participant’s age is calculated at the end of the calendar year. That is, if you are 29 years old at the time of the race, and will turn 30 by the end of the year, then your category is 30-34 years old.
