Race Series Rules
The race series will consist of a mens, womens and youth division. To be eligible for year end awards, you will need to complete 7 of the series races(4 races for youth). If you choose to compete in more than 7 races, your best 7 races will be scored(best 4 for youth). Everyone who completes the minimum number of races will receive a year end award.
Scoring will be based on a cross-country system. For example, if you are the first male club member to cross the finish line, you will get one point, if you are the second to cross, you will get two points, etc... The person with the lowest point total at the end of the series events will be the winner. In the event of a tie, we will go to head to head match-ups for those involved in the tie. The runner with more head to head wins will be declared the tie breaker winner. Age groups are determined by your age as of June 1, 2010.
You must be a member of the Two Rivers Running Club to be eligible to receive points for the race series events. Points may be awarded up to 7 days after a series race to a person who joins the club within that 7 day period. Otherwise, no retroactive points will be given.
Volunteer points will be awarded to those who volunteer at a club series race. Volunteer points are awarded after all club running/walking participants have been awarded. Volunteer points are valid in year end series totals only if you do not have seven running/walking events completed for scoring. If you have completed your minimum seven running/walking events for the race series, volunteer points will be thrown out.
All rules regarding the race series are subject to change (if necessary) to keep things fair for all participants. Any changes will be brought up for a vote by the officers of the club.

Youth Race Series
The youth series will consist of 14 races all taking place at the Rieth Interpretive Center. Participants will need to complete 4 races to be eligible for a year end award. We will score the best 4 times for each person, this will determine final placing. The youth division will be broken into 3 age groups this year: 9 and under, 10-13 and 14-17.
To be eligible for scoring, participants will need to compete in the following distances:
9 and under: 2K run
10-13: 3K run
14-17: 5K run
Any youth participant may move up to the adult series level if they choose to compete in the road race series instead. They must complete 7 road races to qualify for a year end award and no Rieth Run races will count toward their total. Once a youth participant chooses to move to the adult series, they must remain in that series for the entire club year. They may choose to move back down to the youth series in the next calendar year. Also, please remember that any high school runner will not be able to run any races once the high school cross country season starts. So, if you don't think you will get your 7 races in by the start of the cross country season, please compete in the youth series. If you wish to move to the adult level, we must have a parents consent to do so. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
