Series Scoring:
NEW FOR 2024!!
· Age graded scoring used for each race
· Must run at least 5 races to be eligible for awards
· Only your fastest 5 races count towards scoring
We will use AGE GRADED SCORING to score each race in the $5K Series. RunSignUp provides an “Age Percentage” column in the Results. This will be the number of points each athlete earns.
We will take your five fastest races and average the points together to get your final series points total.
Awards will be given to the 25 athletes with the most points at the end of the series.
Scoring will be based on CHIP TIMES.
Awards:
Yes, there will be awards! To be eligible for awards you must run in a minimum of 5 races in the series!!
Running Shoe Collection
Got some used running shoes you need to get get rid of? Bring them to the race. We will be collecting gently worn, used sneakers and running shoes and sending them to Sneakers4Good. Their sneaker reuse and recycling program helps keep your running shoes out of landfills while supporting local causes and families all over the world.
