Now in its 24th running, the Jefferson Hospital PDR has long been hailed as a premier event at this distance, boasting of 54 open and age group records having been set over the years. The PDR is employing the ChampionChip electronic scoring system, which reads the runner number from the chip that is attached to each runner's shoe and records their time as they cross over an electronic mat at the start and finish lines.
Prize money is awarded to top men and women in the open and masters divisions.
Awards are provided for top 3 to 5 winners in 5-year age groups and in the wheelchair division. No new entries or number pickup on race day. Due in part to the course design, the wheel chair competition shall be limited to push rim wheel chairs. Handcrank chairs are not permitted in the competition. All numbers should be worn on the front of your shirt.
