The Game Plan...
Team and Individual Entries Accepted
Welcome to the Battle of the Run Clubs Team XC Challenge
And by run clubs, we mean Run Clubs, but we also mean run...."clubs".
You can sign up with a group of friends, with family members, and even as an individual. You do not need a complete team to enter; if for some reason your friends don't quite get organized and your team ends up a little short, we'll combine mixed teams to make sure everyone has a chance at a final score. Individuals can enter as "Free Agents," and will be combined into these mixed teams or possibly a team of their own. It's a great way to meet local runners and make new friends.
All runners will enter on Ultrasignup as individuals. On page 2 of registration it will ask for your team/club name. If you are entering as an individual, simply enter "Free Agent" in this box.
So how will the scoring work?
There will be 6 races:
Men's 10 mile
Women's 10 mile
Men's 10k
Women's 10k
Men's 5k
Women's 5k
Each runner may choose the distance that suits them best. Each race will be scored equally, as follows:
1st place - 1 point
2nd place - 2 points
3rd place- 3 points
4th place- 4 points
And so on....
Team scores will consist of the top 4 best placings, with the goal of earning the LOWEST overall team score. Additional runners on a team will not add to the score, but can contribute by bumping runners from other teams down in the rankings.
All teams may be of the same gender and run the same race, or any combination of distances/genders that you choose and there is no limit to the number of racers from a single club. The more the merrier.
There is a tiny bit of strategy involved, as a "perfect" team score of 4 (4 wins) does actually require multiple distances and genders.
After the race, stick around for amazing food provided by StableView's famous Graze and Gaze, relax, play lawn games, and mingle as you wait for your team to finish. Showers are available on site and adult beverages will be available at cost in the Tavern.
