Series Scoring:
NEW FOR 2024!!
·      Age graded scoring used for each race
·      Must run at least 5 races to be eligible for awards
·      Only your fastest 5 races count towards scoring

We will use AGE GRADED SCORING to score each race in the $5K Series.  RunSignUp provides an “Age Percentage” column in the Results.  This will be the number of points each athlete earns.

We will take your five fastest races and average the points together to get your final series points total.

Awards will be given to the 25 athletes with the most points at the end of the series.

Location

The events will occur at Jamison Park (285 Meadowlark Drive), which is located next to Meadowlark School (401 Meadowlark Dr.) The course is a flat out and back on the Muddy Creek Greenway that starts at Jamison Park, turns around at the aid station, and returns to the park. This is a PR course for the competitive and nice easy course for the novice.

Course Map

We'll be using a new course beginning in 2021 with the start/finish closer to the Jamison Park shelter and the parking lots.
