The emphasis of the meets is to promote self-confidence, sportsmanship, and fun. No special prizes are awarded for winning races. Instead, every participant gets a ribbon when they leave the meet. Although the emphasis is on recreation, times are recorded and results are listed on www.coolrunning.com.
