Scoring for the Race
Men and Women
Points will be awarded for the top ten runners in reverse scoring order with the race winner earning 12 points. For the age groups 40-49, 50-59, and 60-99 the points go in strict reverse order for the top ten in each group. However, as a bonus if any of these runners also finish in the top ten overall they will receive an additional 1 point (40-49), 2 points (50-59), 3 points (60-69), 5 points (70-79), and 5 points (80-99). For the older groups (50 & older); if they finish in the top ten 40-99 they receive an additional 1 point (50-59), 2 points (60-69), 3 points (70-79), and 5 points (80 & older). For the even older age groups (60 & older); if they finish in the top ten 50-99, they receive an additional 1 point (60-69), 2 points (70-79) and 3 points (80-99). For the eldest runners, (70 & older); if they finish in the top ten of 60-99, they receive an additional 1 point (70-79), 2 points (80-99)
Runners earn points from each top ten they finish in and can win in all the divisions that they qualify in.
