I find the footnote about woman eligibility to be quite curious. Is this to weed out men identifying as women? One can also interpret it to say women in the open field who are not professional runners are ineligible for prize money
OPEN DIVISION PRIZE MONEY FOR MEN AND WOMEN
1st $100,000
2nd $60,000
3rd $40,000
4th $25,000
5th $15,000
6th $10,000
7th $7,500
8th $5,000
9th $2,500
10th $2,000
Only women competing in the all-women's professional race are eligible for Open Division prize money. Finish order is based on gun time.
