1.Each participant must complete an application and pay a $20.00 fee. Membership period is 1/1/08 through 12/31/08. You need not be a California resident to participate.
2.Runners entering the series after a series race must have their paid entry to the series by the end of the quarter and will receive credit for all races within that quarter and through the end of the year.
3.Each race in the series is separate and independent. Each race director determines their own race fees, race date, number of entrants, and cut off times. It is each runner’s responsibility to comply with those requirements.
4.All series participants will be awarded points when they complete a series race. The runner will be an official finisher and be included in the official results by the race director. This means that you should be an active participant at series races. Be sure you understand each race’s markings, cut offs, and be sure your finish is recorded at the finish line.
5.Points are tabulated for each race using this formula: 100 mile, 100k, 50 mile, 50k: Winner’s time divided by individual’s time then multiplied time distance in miles. 12/24 hour: In a 12/24 hour event the runner’s miles divided winner's miles (to establish a percentage) times the maximum possible points (100 in a 24 hour/ 50 in a 12 hour). If the winner runs less than 100 miles in a 24 hour or 50 miles in a 12 hour that distance will be used to calculate total points. The maximum points on any 24 hour run is 100 points and 50 points for 12 hour runs.
6.Separate standing will be kept for men and women.
7.A maximum of the best of six races within the series will be calculated in the final standings.
8.Series divisions are: Open 1 (29 and under), Open 2 (30-39), Masters (40-49), Seniors (50-59), Super Seniors 60-69), and Veteran Seniors (70-79). There is also an award for most miles completed with the fastest cumulative time as a tie breaker for both men and women. This award is not age specific. Depth of age group awards is as follows: First Place, Second Place with five or more in the division, Third Place with eight or more in the division.
9.A runner’s age for the entire year is her/his age on January 1st.
10. Certificates will be awarded to any runner completing six or more races in the series.
