TIME LIMITS & CUT-OFFS

You must upload your race data by 11:59 pm on Sunday, 6 December at 23:59pm to qualify for the finisher medal.

RACE TIMING

Your smart phone, smart watch, fitness watch or activity tracker is your personal "virtual timing chip". Start the session and run your selected distance. When you reach the race distance you have entered stop the session and simply, link your Strava, Garmin, Polar or Suunto account to your runner profile. We also support session file imports for GPX, TCX and FIT formats - you will also be able to manually input running data - so there is nothing holding you back from Mr Price Foundation Challenge.

RESULTS

Your time will be updated to the official results service for the event you participate in. However, real official timing can only be carried out with homologated chip timing technologies at real certified running events. Please also note, that even though your watch or phone may deduct pauses you may have taken during your session, we do not. We measure from start to finish!

The results will be published on the Mr Price Foundation Challenge website www.mrpricefoundationchallenge.org and Comrades Marathon website www.comrades.com and be fully available in the Comrades app where you can subscribe to finish notifications for the runners you want to follow.

GENERAL AWARDS

All athletes who finish their respective distance will receive a physical Mr Price Foundation Challenge medal.
All finishers will also receive an online finishers certificate as well as a digital medal once you have finished your race distance which you will be able to share with all friends and family.
The Mr Price Foundation Challenge participants will receive their memorabilia (if purchased) upon completion of their run (up to 3 - 4 Months after the event).
