RUNNER OF THE YEAR
Any Southern Oregon Runner member in good standing is eligible. A SOR member must finish at least (5) runs during the series to qualify for an award. SOR members 9 and under must only finish 3 such runs.
Awards will be given to the top 3 male and female in each age division.
HOW DO YOU SCORE?
Points can be scored through race participation, volunteering and placing in the top in your age group.
Participation:
For each race that a SOR member finishes, they will be awarded 5 points.
Placing:
For each eligible race that a SOR member places in, the following points will be awarded in each age group.
First = 15 points
Second = 12 points
Third = 10 points
Volunteers: Each volunteer will receive 15 points for volunteering in the first race they do so in and 7 points for every race thereafter. This means that you can't run in that event.
