CEO

CEOs will receive specially marked bib numbers and may start in the CEO Start Area up front. The CEO finish chute will be on the far left at the Finish Line.

If a company CEO is participating and would like to compete against the other CEOs, a CEO Scorecard must be filled out in addition to the Team Scorecard. The CEO and Captain scorecards must be turned in in order to be listed in event results. To qualify:

- A CEO must be the senior full-time employee of the entire company (i.e., President/CEO, Chairman of the Board).
- A CEO may only compete if he/she is also a part of a full team competing in the race.

- We have two categories for CEOs: <30 full time employees and 30+ full-time. MERCER CEO Cups will be given for the fastest male and female CEOs for companies with <30 employees as well as 30+ employees.
