As a somewhat old vet player (on a new account) I was happy to be able to participate in the most recent hero race. I happened to get first place and reached lap four (again new account). But when it ended I was disappointed when I didn't receive the four dragons that was listed. Although, i'm sure that this was mentioned somewhere, that I needed to reach a certain lap in order to get, I was still disappointed in the mere 15 gems for a "participation" prize. I find it ridiculous that if you put in the effort, manage to get a decent position and Not reach a certain lap then you don't get whatever listed prize. Overall i'm just... well... disappointed as I've said many times over again.

Sorry you feel disappointed however it was emphasized both in the game and the posts here and on facebook you **must ** reach lap 5 in order to qualify for the race prizes. The 11 days of the race gave plenty of time to accomplish that, at no cost. And this race had the extra bonus of the special rewards, so you ended up with something most of the other races ddidn't have. Better luck next time.

Just fyi Lap 4 isn't decent, it's legit below the bare minimum for these races, which is why you get gems(now) which is pretty darn good. You got nothing in races up till the last 2 if you only reached there, so it's an improvement.

Plus if you ever checked the podium symbol it would have shown that you hadn't qualified. Even my son who hardly plays got past lap 4.
