Are you ready for the 2012 ROAD RACE SERIES?! It's business as usual for the Road Warrior alum, but for anyone who will call this Series their first, you need to read on and get familiar with the locations, policies, and all of the goodies we have in store for you.
All
races start at 7am on Sundays. Check out the Race Locations Tab (left side of this page) for race locations, directions, and USATF Certifications.
There will be no awards given at
individual races. Awards are Male/Female three-deep in Overall, Age Group, Master, Sr. Master and Grand Master, based on fastest cumulative time using the best time per distance.
To
be eligible for a competitive award (overall, age-group or masters) you must complete at least one race of each
distance. To be a "Road Warrior" you must run all 10 races. To be
considered a "series finisher" you must complete either one race of
each distance or any six races (Note: If you run any six races, but do not run
at least one of each distance, you are not eligible for an age group or overall
award.)
NO race substitutions are allowed. If you cannot make the RRS event we cannot substitute your results from another race.
NO strollers are allowed in the Series.
All
participants who register for the entire series by September 9th may expect to
pick up their technical shirt at any RRS races, beginning with the 10K.
All
participants who register for the entire series at any time receive free entry
to the Holiday Party at Woodland Hills on January 12, 2013. *Finisher’s Items* and awards not picked up
at the Holiday Party will be available for pick up at Fleet Feet, 5430 Poplar
Avenue, #102, from January 16 – February
28. The *Finisher’s Item* is separate
from the technical shirt and available to ‘official finishers’ (all
participants who have registered for the entire series at any time AND who have
completed at least one of each distance OR at least six races overall). The special *Finisher’s Item* will be
distributed at the Holiday Party January 12, 2013.
Single-race
participants WILL NOT receive a technical shirt OR a *Finisher’s Item* but will
be eligible to win a competitive award if he or she completes one race of each
distance.
RRS
Mini-Series for children ages 12 and under:
Many specialists agree that pre-adolescent children should not run
distances greater than 10K. In view of
MRTC's commitment to health and fitness we discourage participation in the full
RRS for children under the age of 12 and offer instead the RRS Mini-Series
(consisting of the two 5K's, two 5-Milers and two 10K’s). All participants who register for the entire
Mini-Series will receive a shirt.
Questions
on scoring or other rules may be directed to the MRTC Board of Directors where
all decisions are final.
Age groups are as follows:
