As promised, here are the final results of the race. These were compiled after the initial release a few days ago, offering up a period where disputes could be made. In order to receive credit for a CP, we took a very liberal approach of allowing at least one of the following to receive it:
1. Passport punch
2. Logbook signature
3. Volunteer Check-in (time-in/time-out) at manned CPs
We had at least 2 of these methods at each CP. Failure to produce proof of reaching a CP means no credit.
At a later point, we will do a full spreadsheet of results with breakdowns on each leg of the race based on logbooks and such. We'll use all the data we have here.
Here are the links to 3 different copies of the final rankings, based on format:
Thanks for those that corrected typos, sent in passports, etc. to get us to the final results in as prompt and fair a manner as possible.

and Special Recognition to:
Perseverance:
The Sport Factory - 3 experienced adventure racers, faced with bad luck and adversity in the beginning of the race, continued on to make it to the finish line despite their early race troubles, showing newbies what it means to never give up.
Angelman Syndrome Awareness - after a rear shock bolt was sheared off, they ran in the bike from the north entrance of Dawson Forest City of Atlanta Tract for ~15 miles to TA3/CP8, then proceeded to continue on!
Personality:
HTFU - all over the course, these guys were posing/smiling/running up Amicalola for the media crew, making for some very colorful photographs along the way.
Raffle Ticket Moguls:
Peoples Temple Agricultural Project - carrying 3 tires to the canoe put-in (in addition to other stuff) and having a huge amount of fun along the course, they racked up over 140 raffle tickets in our side challenge to clean up some of Dawson Forest. As a result, all three got very early picks for the gear raffle schwag.
Sportsmanship:
Shake-A-Leg Miami - not only did they find and turn in Lab Rats' dropped map at the Radiation Burn, these guys called race management to admit accidentally travelling on a prohibited route after their finish, knowingly giving up places with the associated penalty. These guys are shining examples of the integrity of the sport.
