You will receive a point for each hour you complete (whatever mode of exercise you choose). The individual and team who receive the most points will win the competition at the conclusion of Ride Owltober! (Hours will be measured in 30min. Increments; 1hour=1 point, 30min=.5 points) Points will be updated on a weekly basis and you will be able to track your own activities on the Web site.

There are two ways you may submit results/activities:
You can track your activity by simply just going to the runsignup site and adding in your activity. You should log into https://runsignup.com/Profile and click on “Profile” in the upper right hand corner. Then once you are on your profile page, click “Submit Virtual Results” and simply add your time there.
You may also submit your results by clicking on “My Registration” and then clicking on “Submit Virtual Results.” Then add your activity.
In order to be eligible for prizes, we ask that you submit your times each week by midnight Friday morning. Each Friday a winner will be announced for prizes.
If I already signed up how do I change from recreational to competitive? How do I change categories?
If you would like to switch categories, email Mandy Gallagher at mgallagher@warren-wilson.edu and indicate your desired change. That’s it!
How can I win?
It’s all about points! Logging time and encouraging others will earn you points and help your team climb the leaderboards.

The individual and team who receive the most points will win the competition at the conclusion of Ride Owltober! (Hours will be measured in 30 minute increments; 1 hour = 1 point, 30 minutes =.5 points)
