2012 DIRT DAWG TRAIL SERIES RULES

Trails Series Coordinator: Ken Seidl

SIGNUP HERE!

The DIRT DAWG TRAIL SERIES is a way to encourage friendly competition amongst the runners who appreciate off road running on the trails of the Miami Valley’s wonderful public parks. A little mud and dirt never spoils a good run.

RULES & REGULATIONS

  • Must be an ORRRC member – See the ORRRC website www.orrrc.org for information.
  • Sign up online at the ORRRC website before 1 June 2012, include your name, gender, age on 1 June 2012, and email address.
  • In order to be recognized as a DIRT DAWG TRAIL SERIES “Finisher” and be eligible for awards, each participant needs to accumulate a minimum of 100 points from the list of races noted below and serve as a non-running volunteer at least once. See examples below.

  • DIRT DAWG TRAIL SERIES “Finishers” will receive some type of cool award. Finishers will be ranked according to the points received for bragging rights.
  • Everything is subject to change (but probably won’t), just like a trail race!
 

Dirt Dawg Trail Series-Results 2011

Happy New Year Everyone!

Please find attached a PDF of my summary for the 2011 Dirt Dawg Trail Series, and (against my better judgement) a PDF of my overall spreadsheet.

If you feel inclined to re-add up all the scores to make sure you got all your points, go ahead. Your time would be better off spent running, however since I won't be changing any results. Besides we all earned the same award, the custom ORRRC Dirt Dawg Trail Series "BUFF", which I'll be passing at the Holiday Party as well as upcoming Training Runs and Races.

Registration for the 2012 Dirt Dawg Trail Series is open! (ALL THE DETAILS). You'll have until 1 June 2012 to sign up. Under a separate email, you will be receiving the information for this upcoming year. Information will be posted at the ORRRC website as well. This year will be quite different from past years so please read the information. I'll answer the question right now because I'm sure it will be asked by someone in a panic. No, you do not have to run one of the 50K races. That will be up to you. You'll be able to finish the series without running an ultra (but you'll miss a whole lot of fun).

There's a Dirt Dawg Training Run at Bill Yeck this coming Sunday at 12:00 noon to celebrate the New Year. Additional details are at the ORRRC website. If the Green Bay Packer's game isn't televised locally, I'll be there with the "BUFFS".

In addition to all of our great trail (and road) races, there are a number of races in Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky & Tennessee, which are worth checking out. It's always great to see our Dirt Dawgs at these events. A few especially worth mentioning are "Lovin the Hills" 15 Mile & 50K in Louisville, "50's for Yo Momma" 50K & 50 Mile in Circleville, and "RunWoodstock" (name a distance and they have) in Hell Michigan.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at the Holiday Party, and then a week later at the "Dirt Dawg 8 Mile" race at Grant Park.

Cheers Kenneth J. Seidl


JEFF MCPHERSON NOTE:  Thanks Ken!

   

Dirt Dawg Trail Series-Results 2010

As of Nov 8, 2010  (See attached PDF)

Questions:  Ken Seidl


2010 DIRT DAWG SERIES PRELIMINARY RESULTS
I've run ultras faster than the time it's taken me to update the latest Dirt Dawg Series Preliminary Results.  Please find attached a PDF of those results. I've added a few lost runners, which has caused some adjustments to the standings.  The correction of a few earlier mathematical errors on my part created some adjustments as well.  Some runners are still dropping low scores while others are still trying to get their minimum of seven races in.  A few runners, who can't get the seven races, have been dropped.  For those of you who have been dropped, or may be dropped in the future, thanks for participating in the series, and please continue running (and volunteering) with us.

Out of 79 runners on the list, we currently have 59 official "2010 Dirt Dawg Trail Series" finishers.  There's  one more opportunity to get in that last race and / or volunteer opportunity.


REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
The Club is going to put together a "high quality keepsake booklet " to pass out at the Holiday Party, and we need your help.  If you could send me a brief comment / quotation / etc. regarding the Dirt Dawg Trail Series, a race, an experience, an individual, I'll try to work it into a write up for the booklet.  I've received a few great comments and am looking for more.  Please send me something.
