The Lilac Bloomsday Run is pleased to be part of the 2007-2008 PRRO Circuit of major prize money races. The PRRO Race of Champions will be held at the Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta, GA, on July 4, 2008. Any athlete winning two of the first four races--Boilermaker 15K, the World’s Best 10k, Credit Union Cherry Blossom and Lilac Bloomsday Run--plus the Peachtree Road Race, will earn a $30,000 bonus (split if more that one athlete, male or female, qualifies for the bonus).
As a member of the PRRO circuit, the Lilac Bloomsday Run supports and abides by the circuit's new policy which prohibits any travel or lodging expenses being offered to an elite athlete who has been found guilty of a major doping offense and has served a suspension of two years or longer.

The Lilac Bloomsday Run will follow all applicable USATF and IAAF rules governing drug testing and the payment of prize funds. Athletes who participate in this competition may be subject to formal drug testing in accordance with the IAAF Procedural Guidelines for Doping Control or the Olympic Movement Anti-Doping Code. Drug testing, and the adjudication of positive findings, will be carried out by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). Athletes found to have committed a doping violation will be disciplined according to the USADA Protocol and suspended, if appropriate, according to applicable IAAF rules. Such penalties may result in a period of ineligibility as well as disqualification from the event. Any substance taken by an athlete is at his/her own risk and may result in a positive sample (This includes cold medicines, nutritional supplements, and some over the counter medicines). Information on drugs and drug testing may be obtained by calling the USADA Drug Reference HotLine at 1-800-233-0393, or the USADA web site www.usantidoping.org.
Under US tax laws, any payments made to non-resident foreign runners will be subject to a 30% withholding fee. Runners with high school or collegiate eligibility should check with their respective association regarding prize money, since in most cases such payments are not allowed in any form to high school or college runners. Runners who qualify for prize money in more than one division will be paid the higher amount. If the amounts in the two divisions are equal, prize money will be considered to be paid in the following order--masters, open, Washington championship (e.g. a runner who qualifies for $1,000 in both masters and open will be paid the masters $1,000). |
