NO PURCHASE IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING.

The Team Milk Virtual Half Marathon Sweepstakes (the “Sweepstakes”) is a promotional sweepstakes. Winners will be selected by random drawing from among all eligible entries received, as set forth in these Official Rules. This Sweepstakes is subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws, rules, and regulations and is void where prohibited or restricted by law.

By entering, you agree to be bound by these Official Rules and by the decisions of Sponsor, which are final and binding in all matters relating to the Sweepstakes.

The Sweepstakes is sponsored by Gale Partners LLC, as agent for the National Fluid Milk Processor Promotion Board (“Sponsor”). The Sweepstakes may be administered or supported by third-party service providers acting on Sponsor’s behalf.

Sponsor, the National Fluid Milk Processor Promotion Board, RunSignup, prize suppliers, agencies, promotion vendors, and each of their respective parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors, members, managers, employees, representatives, agents, successors, and assigns may be referred to collectively in these Official Rules as the “Promotion Entities.”

Sponsor’s computer or designated timekeeping device is the official clock for the Sweepstakes. 

The Sweepstakes is open only to legal residents of the fifty (50) United States and the District of Columbia who are eighteen (18) years of age or older at the time of entry.

Employees, officers, directors, representatives, and agents of Sponsor and their respective parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising, promotion, public relations, fulfillment agencies, and any other parties involved in the development or administration of the Sweepstakes, as well as the immediate family members and household members of each such person, are not eligible to enter or win.

6.1 Methods of Entry.

There are two (2) ways to enter the Sweepstakes during the Promotion Period. Regardless of method, all entries must be received during the Promotion Period and must comply with these Official Rules.


Method 1: Event Registration Entry



You may receive one (1) entry by registering for the Team Milk Virtual Half Marathon through RunSignup during the Promotion Period. Event registration entry is subject to all applicable event terms, waiver requirements, and technical instructions established for the Virtual Half Marathon. Registering for the Virtual Half Marathon is only one method of entry and is not required to enter or win.



Method 2: Free Alternate Method of Entry (“AMOE”)

You may enter without registering for the Team Milk Virtual Half Marathon by completing the free online entry form located at everywomansmarathon.com/virtual-half-sweepstakes, which will be available throughout the Promotion Period. Sponsor may reject incomplete, illegible, inaccurate, automated, mechanically reproduced, or untimely AMOE submissions.



6.2 Entry Limit

Limit one (1) entry per person and per email address for the entire Sweepstakes, regardless of entry method. If an entrant submits or attempts to obtain more than one entry by using multiple email addresses, identities, registrations, devices, scripts, bots, or any other method, Sponsor may disqualify that entrant and void all associated entries.



6.3 Equal Odds

Entries submitted through the Event Participation Entry method and entries submitted through the AMOE will have equal odds of winning. Entering through event registration does not improve the chances of winning compared to entering through the AMOE.



6.4 Entry Requirements and Conditions

All entries become the property of Sponsor to the extent permitted by law and will not be acknowledged or returned. Entries generated by script, macro, bot, artificial means, or any automated or programmed means are void.

The exact contents of each swag bundle may vary and are subject to availability. Sponsor may revise the listed or anticipated contents before prize award.



7.2 General Prize Conditions

No substitution, transfer, assignment, resale, or cash redemption of any prize is permitted, except by Sponsor, which reserves the right to substitute a prize or prize component with one of equal or greater value if the advertised prize or any component becomes unavailable for any reason. Sponsor is not responsible for, and winner will not receive, any difference between the stated ARV and actual value of any prize. All federal, state, and local taxes, as well as any costs and expenses not expressly stated as included in the applicable prize description, are the sole responsibility of the winner, and winners may be issued an IRS Form 1099-MISC reflecting the value of the prize.
