Points/Awards
*REVISED FOR 2016*
Points
Points will be awarded in the following manner:
- For every race that you run, you will be awarded 1 point. Regardless of where you place in that race.
- For every race at which you volunteer, you will be awarded 2 points. Please remember to sign the volunteer sheet at each race in order to get credit!
- For every new member/family that you refer that joins the club, you will be awarded 3 points. There is now a place on the membership application for new members to write in the name of the person who referred them.
- For every corporate/business sponsorship of $100 or more that you get for a race, you will be awarded 5 points.
All TCRR Contract Races are Grand Prix races!! Some may be added during the year, so keep an eye on our schedule. We will also be sending periodic e-mails.
Awards
Awards will be given to the top three point achievers in each 5- year age group. Your Grand Prix age will be determined by your age at the first race of the calendar year. The top 3 runners with the most points (male and female) will receive additional awards.
Awards will be given at next year’s White Bank Classic (this will be announced on website).
