Female bodied non-binary runners who choose to identify themselves to the race admin can receive elite benefits with the same qualifying performances as women's division and will receive prizes equivalent to what they would have received had they run the same time in the womens division while still being shown as non-binary in the results.
Trans runners are free to select a whichever division best suits them.
