About this Race Series

Race Series Information

Journey to Fitness is a wellness initiative developed by Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital in cooperation with local businesses and lifestyle groups to make our community healthier. Journey to Fitness  supports community health by promoting walking/running events in Pulaski County. The events offer an opportunity for all to engage in challenges varying in distances from 5ks to a half marathon. Race points are earned and totaled at the end of the race series for participation and competitive achievements. All races help fund nonprofit and community organizations which in turn support the needs of the community

How do you join the Journey to Fitness?
There is no cost to enter the Journey to Fitness. You simply complete  in one of the Journey to Fitness races and you will automatically be entered. Participants can be entered as an individual and/or a team. Registration forms will ask for your “Age as of 12/31/ 18” to ensure you remain in the same age division for the entire Journey.

Enter as an Individual
You will automatically be entered in the Journey to Fitness if you  complete  any of the events in the Journey to Fitness  series. It doesn’t matter if you participate in one race or all of them. Just show up, complete the race, and have fun!

Enter as a Team
To participate in Journey to Fitness as a team, each team member must include their team name on their individual form when they register.. ,   .Teams are encouraged to pre-register for races whenever possible.

A team must have  minimum of five (5) participants per race in order to get team credit, however, there is no maximum limit on the number of team members. The team can be made up of friends, family, co-workers, or any other combination. You can have a large team with 100 members or a small team of only 5 members. 

How does the Point System work?
After the completion of a race, the race director uploads all results to the Journey to Fitness website. Once points are uploaded, you have one (1) week to contest the points. In order for points to count toward the year-end awards, each participant must run at least 5 races.Participants are encouraged to  run as many races as  they want throughout the year, but only their best 7 races will count toward the competitive point system. In case of a tie, the 8th race will be considered and so on.

Please use the same name each time you register for a race. If you register as “Robert Jones” in one race and “Bob Jones” in another race, the computer will consider this two different people.

Age Divisions
The age divisions will be as follows – 10 & Under; 11-14; 15-19; 20-29; 30-39; 40-49; 50-59; 60-69; and 70 and Over.

You will register in the age division according to your age on December 31, 201 8. For example, if your birthday is 12/30 and you will be 30 years old on that day, you will register for the 30-39 age division even though you were 29 for most of the year.

How many points can I earn?
Each age group will be awarded points as follows:

4th place – 7 points     9th place – 2 points

If a person in an age division is awarded an overall medal, that person will get the points of 1st place in his/her age division. The person in that age division who received the 1st place medal will get points for 2nd place and so on. Example – John Doe, age 21, won overall male with a time of 15 minutes and received the medal for overall male. Joe Smith, age 21, was awarded the 1st place medal in the age division with a time of 16 minutes. When the points are listed for their age division, 20-29, John Doe will have 10 points and Joe Smith will be awarded the 2nd place points of 9 points and so on through the age division.
