Scoring & Rules

You're entered in the age-group category based on your age as of December 31st of the current year. You may still place in your current age group for an individual race, but the series itself is scored based on your end-of-year age.
Athletes are automatically entered into the series when they register for any race in it, and are scored automatically by our timing software. To make sure your results are scored correctly, use the same RunSignUp profile every time you register for an Upstate Race Series event.
Maximum of 5 races can score. If you compete in more than 5, we'll take your top 5 finishes.
