2008 Colorado Runner Racing Series

About The Series: The Colorado Runner Racing Series is a scored series of premier races throughout the state. Runners will be scored based on their finishing place in the race. The winners in each division will be featured in Colorado Runner and the top 3 will receive an award from The Boulder Running Company. Current standings will be placed on this webpage after each event. See below for current standings.

Scoring Information:
In each race, points will be awarded to the top 10 male and female finishers in the open division (runners ages 1-39), the masters division (runners ages 40-49), the 50-54 age division, the 55-59 age division, the 60-64 age division and the 65 and over age division. Runners may participate in as many races as they choose, but must compete in four races to compete for awards. We will also give an award to the person who scores in the most events. For races with multiple starts, finish line time will be used to calculate points. If a race has scoring trouble, it may be removed from the series. For races with multiple events, only the event listed will be used. Your division is based on your age in the first race of the year in which you score.
