After the race, Hardy ordered a first place male trophy to be made for Ellsworth. When asked whether the race might offer first place male trophies in the future, Hardy said probably not. Instead of giving out more awards, he is more interested in awarding the top six finishers, regardless of gender.
“It’s tricky, because in the world we live in now, people would think I was being sexist if I just gave out overall awards and didn’t have female-specific awards,” he said. “But I think a race is a race, and the best women can beat the men on a given day. And that’s awesome. Other times, they don’t make the podium. What we don’t want to do is water down the prestige of placing on the podium, no matter if you’re a man or woman.
You are the indisputable champion of the race and deserve both. Congratulations!

Woman Wins 50K Ultra Outright, Trophy Snafu for Male Winner Follows“I felt bad that the first place man didn’t have one, so I tried to convince them to blot out the ‘fe’ on ‘female,’ but they said to just keep both trophies.” Oh hi 1AverageRunner! What a great story. It's always a tricky one... IMO one prize per runner is fairest, so shouldn't 1st female go to 2nd female, with 1st male getting 2nd overall (unless a vet and the vet prize is better! Even better give the runner the choice)
