2019 Series Championship:
Participate in at least 3 of the 5 Series events and compete for the 2019 Greater Atlanta Run Series Championship!
Points are earned based on your placement at each Series event. Points will be earned at both distances for each event with multiple distances. You must participate in at least 3 of the 5 Series events to be eligible for the Series Championship. All ties at the end of the Series will be broken by the results of the Series finale, the Boundary Waters Cross Country 5k on August 3, 2019. Series Championship awards will be given out at the Boundary Waters Cross Country 5k on August 3, 2019. You must be present at the Boundary Waters Cross Country 5k on August 3, 2019 to receive Series Championship awards. COMPETITIVE CATEGORIES - OVERALL CHAMPIONSHIP AND DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP: Participants competing for the Series Championship will compete in two competitive categories: Overall Championship and Division Championship. Overall (Open/Masters/Senior Grand Masters) Championship: Overall Championship awards will be presented to the 1st place male and female Open (39 and under), 1st place male and female Masters (40-59), and 1st place male and female Senior Grand Masters (60+) champions based on points earned at each Series event. Only the top 5 male and female Open finishers, top 5 male and female Masters finishers, and top 5 male and female Senior Grand Masters finishers for each distance at each event will receive points in the Overall Championship category. Overall Championship points will be awarded as follows: 1st Place - 10 points 2nd Place - 8 points 3rd Place - 6 points 4th Place - 4 points 5th Place - 2 points Participants receiving Overall Championship points at an event also will receive Division Championship points at that event. Overall Series Championship award winners (1st place male and female Open; 1st place male and female Masters; and 1st place male and female Senior Grand Masters), however, are NOT eligible for Division Championships. Division Championship: Division Championship awards will be presented to the top 3 male and female finishers in each division based on points earned at each Series event. Division Championship points will be awarded as follows: 1st Place - 10 points 2nd Place - 9 points 3rd Place - 8 points 4th Place - 7 points 5th Place - 6 points 6th Place - 5 points 7th Place - 4 points 8th Place - 3 points 9th Place - 2 points 10th Place and beyond - 1 point Divisions for each Series event are: 9 & under; 10-14; 15-19; 20-24; 25-29; 30-34; 35-39; 40-44; 45-49; 50-54; 55-59; 60-64; 65-69; 70-74; 75-79; and 80 & over. To keep age divisions consistent for the entire Series, your age at each Series event is based on your age as of August 3, 2019 (the date of the last 2019 Series event, the Boundary Waters Cross Country 5k). * Please note your finishing place (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) for each event of the Greater Atlanta Run Series is based on "gun" time (and not "chip" time). In addition, Division Championship points for each event are awarded based on your OVERALL place in your division at that event. For example, if you receive an award for 1st Place – Division at an event, but a top overall finisher at the event (top 3 overall, top masters) competed in your division, your place for that particular event will drop down below the top overall finisher for purposes of determining Division Championship points for that event. |
