- FreshChoice has added an exciting new feature to the event, with archways along the course displaying prizes for participants to win. Simply run or walk through an archway and the chip in your bib will record the prize, which can then be collected at the FreshChoice area over the finish line. Said McCaughan: “Whatever prize you go through under the FreshChoice archways, you win and collect and collect it at the finish line.”
