No medals for all participants?

So many people who ran or walked in the Centennial Celebration was great to see. When they got to the finish line, what a beautiful medal they received.

Now the little munchkins took off and ran their hearts out. They get to the finish line and there were no medals for them. They looked around for their medals. They were disappointed.

Why were they not thought about?
