UNUSUAL PRIZES
CROSSING the line first is always exciting. Quite apart from the personal satisfaction a great run produces, there’s usually a medal, a trophy and perhaps even a voucher for the nearest sports shop to take home. Meanwhile, for the lucky few, a big win can result in a significant boost to their bank account. All in all it’s a good day.
Of course, it hasn’t always been like that. Yes, the feeling of job well done is always there, but the prize structure has been a little different in the past.
