Series Scoring
Lowest score wins!
Your placings at each event in your category shall be accumulated to determine your total score. The higher you place; the lower that number, the better your chances.
Participation in ALL THREE events is required and runners must race in the same division at each event; i.e. SHORT COURSE or LONG COURSE option at all three events.
Overall TRIPLE CROWN Champions shall be decided by the lowest accumulative score of OVERALL race placings at each event.
Overall placegetters at each event shall be counted in the age groups for the purpose of the TRIPLE CROWN categories (in the event that they are not on the podium at each event, they will still be eligible for their age group TRIPLE CROWN)
