Official Rules & Scoring
Participation begins after you register. If you ran a Series race before registering, it will not count in your standings. Points are not retroactive.
To be eligible for awards, participants must complete a minimum of seven races. If a runner completes more than seven, only the top seven scores will be counted, and all participation points in the final scoring.
Your age group is determined by your age as of January 1.
