Series Awards/Scoring:
2012 series awards will be based on an age-graded scoring system. Now 50-year-olds can compete against 12-year-olds, grandpas against grandsons, etc! We will use the percentages developed by the World Association of Veteran Athletes (WAVA) to assign a percentage to each runner’s time based on age and gender.  We will take the average percentage of your top three two races to determine your series score. The owners of the top 50 percentages will receive special series’ awards after the Run For The Hills in September. That means ANYONE, no matter what your age, has a chance to win!!

How does Age-Graded Scoring work?:
Let's say a 55-year old female runs a 5k in 24:00. She would receive an Age-Graded Score of 72.05%. That is because, according to the Age-Graded Scoring tables, the "ideal" finish time for a 55-year old female is 17:18, and that's about 28% faster (about 6 minutes) than our 55-year old ran.

Now let's say that a 25-year old male ran the same 5k in 18:30. Obviously, that is faster than our 55-year old female. But is the performance of the younger runner really "better" when compared with that of a woman more than twice his age? The answer is, "No!" In fact, the Age-Graded score of the 25-year old is only 70.12%. The lady wins! If you have any questions about the scoring email Pat at pat@bigriverrunning.com
