About this Race Series

The Free-for-All Race Series is the best way to enjoy Fit & Able's events! We love seeing our participants come out to event after event all year long. And this year its a bigger and better competitive experience!

Do you need to register for the series? No! If you sign up for any Fit & Able event this year, you're automatically entered in the race series.

Are there special awards for series winners? Yes! 

* Please note that participating in the Free-for-All Race Series does not automatically sign you up for all the constituent events. All races must be registered for separately!

What is a Race Series?

A race series is a year-long multi-event race experience! Instead of each event being completely separate, they are now tied together for a higher level of competition. This means your participation and performance in each race builds on the previous events you've done for a new overall ranking across the whole series.

The Free-for-All Race Series is comprised of over 15 races throughout the year. You can check out Fit & Able's full race calendar here: https://www.fitandableproductions.com

How You Earn Points

Participants must complete a minimum of seven races to be eligible for awards and only 2 Mile and greater distances count towards the series.

At each event you will compete for the regular Overall and Age Group prizes and will be awarded series points based on those results. You will then receive a series ranking based on the points you earn across all events. So the more events you do the more points you earn and you can earn even more points by racing longer distances! Participating in multiple races at the same event counts towards the 7-race requirement (eg. racing both the 5K and 10K at the Turkey Chase); this option may not be possible at all events.

Points are awarded at the race-level:

• Overall Points: 1st - 50 pts, 2nd - 40 pts, 3rd - 30 pts.
• Age Group Points: 1st - 20 pts, descending to 20th.

* Race overall winners do not also receive race age group points (no double dipping!). 

Each distance receives the following points modifier:

• 2 Mile / 3 Mile / 5K / 1/8 Marathon- 1x
• 4 Mile / 8K / 5 Mile - 1.5x
• 10K / 6 Mile / 6.5 Mile / 6.55 Mile / 1/4 Marathon- 2x
• 8 Mile / 15K / 3/8 Marathon- 3x
• 13.1 / 1/2 Marathon- 4x

* Virtual races will receive 50% of the points available for the affiliated in-person race. 

** Points are posted automatically after each race. 

At the end of the year the points rankings will determine the Overall and Age Group winners of the Free-for-All race series.

* Please note that all series participants will receive points regardless of how many events they complete. However, only those participants who have completed the required minimum number of events are eligible to receive awards. A participant with fewer points but enough completed events will receive the award over a participant with more points but not enough completed events. 

line by the time online registration closes and actually show up at the event. Race distance point modifiers do not apply to volunteer points. 

Awards and Prizes!

At the end of the race year, Fit & Able hosts an awards ceremony to celebrate a successful series and award the big prizes. Series awards will be presented to the Top 3 Male & Female Overall Series Champions and to the Top 3 Male & Female in each age group. Participants must complete a minimum of seven races to be eligible for awards and just like with race awards Overall winners will not also receive an Age Group prize (again, no double dipping). 

Awards and the recipients in each category will be finalized following the Last Mile. Prizes may be shipped to recipients.

* Please note that participating in multiple races at the same event counts towards the 7-race requirement (eg. completing both the Turkey Chase in-person 5K and virtual 5K counts as two of the seven required races). Only 5K and greater distances count towards the series.

We can't wait to see you at the races!
