Rules:
• Points apply to Grand Prix events only
• During each Grand Prix event, runners may earn points in all three categories: Racing, PR and Distance, Volunteering. For example, if a runner wins their age group (80 points) + earns a PR (70 points) + volunteers for the event (30 points), they will earn a total 180 points for that event.
• Runners are only eligible for one set of points per category per event. The highest points earned will always be the points recorded. For example, if a runner earns a 1st place male or female and a 1st place age group, 100 points would be recorded.
• The first time at a new distance will be awarded "First time ..." points". "Personal best ..." points would be awarded for subsequent attempts at that distance.
• It is the runner’s responsibility to provide the Grand Prix master, Ken Oliver, with updated information about accomplishments.
