THE GRAND PRIX MISSION

The object of this series is to promote increased participation in member races and, as a result, heighten awareness of and funding for the various race-supported causes. With the continued support of area runners and event sponsors, the Grand Prix strives to continue our success.

SERIES DETAILS

  • The 2010 MAGP consists of eight different races, ranging in distance from 5k to 13.1 miles. You are automatically entered in the series.

  • Your final score will be the total points for your best 4 races in the series.

  • You must run 4 races to be eligible for year-end awards.
    The remaining MAGP SERIES 2010 Races are:

    • July 3 - Spirit & Breath Challenge
    July 9 - Jim Dunn Memorial 5-Miler
    August 8 - Gene's Run For Special Olympics WV
    September 25 - September Stride 5K

  • Scheduled races and race dates are subject to change. Reasonable efforts will be made to notify series entrants if and when such changes occur. Grand Prix officials do not assume responsibility for date changes or cancellations of affiliate races.

  • Guidelines issued by the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission limit the type of awards that students may accept to plaques, trophies, certificates, etc. To protect the status of student athletes, all entrants who are enrolled in grades 6 through 12 at the end of the year will be ineligible to receive any series competition award of monetary value.

THE POINT SYSTEM

  • Age Graded Points . . . We are using the WMA age grading system. Your time will be age graded using factors that depend upon your age and the distance of the race. We then take the theoretical world record (for the distance, your age & sex) and divide it by your time to get a percentage. We multiply by 100 to get an integer. Points will be rounded to the nearest whole number for display purposes, but fractions of points will be used to determine the standings.

  • Example . . .
    If a 10-year-old male runs a 10K in 42:30 (2550 seconds) his score is 1972/2550 x 100 = 77

    If a 55-year-old female runs a 10K in 47:50 (2870 seconds) her score is 2219/2870 x 100 = 77

    The result is a tie.
