Submitting Official Results for RUNNER'S CHOICE events:

Race results for signature events will automatically be recorded into the Grand Prix by the committee. You do not need to do anything (yet) to submit results for these 16 events.

Race results for RUNNER'S CHOICE events are submitted for any qualified races run and are recorded to the division for that race distance. 

More than one race result may be submitted to a selected division during the year. If more than one result is submitted, the fastest time posted will be used. 

Results are posted to the Grand Prix electronically through the club website and added to the master results list. Results for a qualified race must be posted within 90 days after the race was run. All results must be in three days before the annual club holiday party.

Scoring:

The winner of each age group division is the runner with the fastest time or pace and gets fifteen (15) points, second place gets thirteen (13) points, third eleven (11) and so on until five (5) points is reached. After that, submitting a time into a division gets you five (5) points for participating.

The Seaside Shuffle 5K includes an extra five (5) bonus points in addition to the points outlined above.

Participation in River to Sea and Battle at the Border are worth 10 points in 2024!!!!

Volunteering at any of the qualified race events earns five (5) points per event.

The object of the Grand Prix is to earn as many points as possible across all divisions and events.

Championship Awards:

Championship Awards are given to the first and second place male and female runners in each age group with the most accumulated points across all race divisions and club events.

To qualify to win an age group Championship award, a runner must accumulate a minimum of fifteen (15) points (which can be earned easily through participation in club events or volunteering).

The Championship Awards are very special custom WRRC swag that will be selected by the Grand Prix committee and announced around June 1st of each year.
