Prize Money Eligibility
The following schedules list cash awards for respective places in the Marathon and Half Marathon. Places are based on gun time, without duplication except for course records. All other places are based on chip time including specialty awards. Participants placing in the Overall Top 5 and and also placing in the Masters division will receive the greater of the two cash amounts and the other position will be vacated without replacement. Prizes will be paid only after results are declared final by Lincoln Marathon authorities and after administrative processing. Any person winning prize money must provide a US address for the mailing of the prize and any related documents. They also must ensure their US address is kept current with Lincoln Marathon staff. In addition, if prize money paid is $600 or more,
-
- Each US citizen must provide a properly completed and signed most current version of IRS Form W-9 (available on the IRS web site)
- Non-US citizens must provide a properly completed and signed most current version of IRS Form W-8BEN. Taxes will be withheld at the rate required by IRS regulations, 30% at the date of this writing. It is potentially beneficial for non-citizens to apply for a Taxpayer Identification Number and file a tax return to request refund of the withheld tax, but Lincoln Marathon staff cannot provide tax advice beyond the demand for the Form W-8BEN.
If any information on the form changes before the end of the year during which it is submitted, a new form with updated information must be submitted immediately. Failure to provide properly completed forms and a valid US address before the end of November immediately following the winning performance will result in forfeiture of the prize.
