GRAND PRIX CHAMPIONSHIP

We have a Grand Prix points system, where accumulated points determine the new male and female Running Tour Champion in each of seven age categories: youth, open (20-39), masters (40-49), grand masters (50-59), senior grand masters (60-69), veterans (70-79), and eighty plus (80+). You remain in the age category of your first race for the whole season.

Everyone who participates in 5 races or more will receive a special award at the Grand Prix Awards Banquet. In addition, those who run 10 or more races will receive an extra award. After 10 races, only races with points that increase the total will count for a maximum of 10 races. Special recognition for the most races.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          In the event of a tie at the end of the tour, the tie breaker rules are as follows:                               

If both runners compete in the last race, the runner who wins that race will be declared the age group champion.
 
If only one of the runners competes in the last race, that runner will be declared the age group champion.
 
If neither runner competes in the last race, whichever one of the two won the last time they both competed in the same race will be declared the age group champion.
