General
The ORRRC Grand Prix is a series of club races for members in which points are accumulated to determine annual club champions in age group divisions. Awards are given in each age group to all participants who meet the minimum requirements. Members who wish to participate should register by April 30. Those who register after April 30 may do so but will not receive retroactive credit for races or volunteer points. Registration forms will be available at club races during January and February, or you may call the Grand Prix point of contact Margaret Westlake at (937) 305-3368.
Requirements
Runners 15 and over must finish two club races in each of the three distance categories (two category A races, two category B races, and two category C races) and earn 20 volunteer points. Runners 10-14 must finish four category A races and two category B races. Runners 9 and under must finish any 6 Grand Prix races. Runners 14 and under must earn 10 volunteer points. In all cases, a portion of the volunteer points must be earned by working two of the following events: Marathon/Half Marathon, Lou Cox race/expo, Ghosts and Goblins race, and the Turkey Trot.. Volunteer points will be accumulated from November 1 to October 31. Please note: This means that volunteering for the Turkey Trot counts towards the next year's volunteer points.
Scoring
Points will be awarded by age group finishes as follows: First - 10 points, Second - 8 points, Third - 6 points, and all other finishers 4 points. Those who receive awards for overall finish and do not receive an age group award will be scored according to their age group finish. Each will receive 10 points plus two points for each position within their age group that they are ahead of "age group winners". Runners 9 and under will receive 10 points for each finished race. The Grand Prix does not recognize special race categories such as walker, open, or Clydesdale. Runners in the special categories will be scored according to their age group finish.
Volunteer Points
4 points - Race Volunteer - not running
1 point - Race Volunteer - running
Various volunteer positions, such as Race Director, or Chairman of a committee also receive points.
