Men’s & Women’s overall winners
will receive $75 for first place, $50 for second place, and $25 for third
place, based on total points from your best 4 races (which is how everyone will be scored). Whoever wins the race gets 100 points;
everyone else’s points will be calculated by dividing the winner’s time by your
own. Example: winner’s time is 1 hour, yours is 2 hours. Your points would be
50.00 – thanks to my local running club, the Red Clover Rovers, for supporting this!

Lottery by-pass:
You must complete all five races. Up to 30 runners will be able to
earn a lottery by-pass into the 2019 Northeast Delta Dental Mount Washington
Road Race. If fewer than 30 runners join the series, all will have a chance. If
more, the first 30 to join will be eligible to receive a by-pass, after the
first 30, additional members will be put on waiting list. To clarify, if one of the first 30 runners to
sign-up doesn’t complete all the races, the next person qualifies for a lottery
by-pass, etc. Placement of your entry into the series will be determined by the
date and time your sign-up email is received by me. Send an email to mtnrunr@comcast.net to let me know “the checks are in the mail” and
you wish to join. A HUGE thank you to the Mount
Washington Auto Road for their support!!!

Tracking results:
After you complete each race,
email your time to mtnrunr@comcast.net Times will be as listed in the official
results, so if you disagree with your time you must straighten it out with the
RD. I will calculate and keep track of
points. (Fyi…I’m doing this on my own time, which I am volunteering, as I’ve
wanted such a series since the late ‘70’s!). It’s all about keeping in shape n
