GLCR Fall Series 2016

GLCR Fall Race Series
Final Series Standings

The Fall Series comprises twelve area races September through December that have been previously organized as benefits or community races. Races are selected based on proximity (they are close by) and popularity (a lot of GLCRunners participate in them year to year). They have been divided into six categories:
5K-a      
5K-b     
10K     
15-16K    
21K(half marathon)    
42K(Marathon)    
Ultra-Marathon


Participants must score in at least four of the categories in order to be counted in the standings. For the series, participants will be competing against other GLCR members. Finishing times are AGE-GRADED and GENDER-GRADED. Series points are calculated based on these adjusted finishing times. If only one GLCR member runs a race, then they win the race in the standings by default (and earn 10 points).

Rules
  •  Earn as many points as you can by competing in Series races.
  • For the series races, you are competing against other GLCRunners. Each race will be age and gender adjusted and points issued based on the converted standings for that race. First place gets 10 points, second 9 and so on with everyone competing getting at least one point.
    • UPDATE: Runners completing a Marathon or Ultramarathon during the Fall Series Window (September 5 - December 17) will automatically earn 10 points. You may win ten points in both categories.
  •   Runners may earn points in each of the six race distance categories. Runners may only score in one race from each category. A runner may choose to race each 5K, but may only take his or her highest score between the options.
  •  You must be a GLCR member to compete
  • You must score in at least four of the categories to be considered for an overall standings award or participation award.
  •  A special Prize will be issued to participants getting points in four of the six categories.
  • The overall winner will receive an overall award

Getting Scored: After completing a race from the series, submit your official time (not watch-time or wind-adjusted time) to the GLCR email address (glcrunners@gmail.com) and we will do the rest. Be sure to include:
  •  Your name
  • Race/Distance
  • Age/Gender
  • Finishing time
