Tri-Valley Grand Prix Race Series
2012 - 2013
Starting in October we will have a series of races in which we encourage all club members to run. Points will be awarded based on your time. At the end of the series, awards will be handed out at our Annual Banquet in November 2013.
This is not a series for just fast runners - you can score by just participating or by being able to run faster than a younger runner since times will be age-graded. We will try to have races in a variety of surrounding towns at varying distances.
1. You must be a current member of the Tri-Valley Front Runners.
2. In order to make this series fair for all ages, points will be awarded based on age-graded times for your age (in years) as of the race date. An explanation of the age grading system can be found here.
3. Genders will be scored separately.
4. Points will be awarded as follows - 1st place - 15 points, 2nd place - 14 points, and so on. No runner will receive fewer than 5 points. Bonus points might be awarded for some USATF and relay races.
5.
Some months we will have two races.
You can run one or both races but will
only receive points for one of the races.
If you run both, your "unused" points
are not assigned to the next place finisher.
6.
Race distances will not be more that 13.1
miles.
7.
Trophies/prizes will be awarded at our
annual banquet to the top 5 male and female
runners.
8.
The results will be posted on our website. If you do not see your
name in the results, please contact the Grand
Prix Director
within 2 weeks of the race date.
