Runners competing in the full 14 miles at the Loop De Loop event will receive an extra10 points added to their base score.

Summer Track Series (5 Tuesdays)
25 points will be given to each person who participates in one or more event per Track meet. There is a maximum of 100 points possible for all track meets combined.

(See Volunteers below for information on volunteer points during the track series meets).

Volunteers
Those people selected by the Race Director as volunteers of a specific event will receive 75 points. It is the responsibility of Race Director to provide volunteer names to the series Director. This year the Kenwood Footraces will have volunteer points only, at an amount of 90 points. There will also be Track Series volunteer points this year. Track Series volunteers will receive 25 points for each track meet they volunteer at to a maximum of 75 points. The volunteer can combine 25 participant points from a track meet that they did not volunteer at in order to get the maximum 100 points for the track series. You can not receive both volunteer and participant points during the same track meet.

Prizes:
The 1st, 2nd and 3rd overall scoring females and males will be awarded $125, $75 and $50 in the form of a gift certificate from Fleet Feet Sports of Santa Rosa to be awarded at the annual banquet.

The Series Director will endeavor to score each event as accurately as possible but mistakes and omissions inevitably will happen. Corrections will be made upon notification to the director up to 30 days after the results of an event have been published in the newsletter. Results will become official after that. The Series Director has the authority to make changes to the above rules from time to time throughout the year as may be necessary due to changing situations. Changes will be published in the newsletter and posted on the website as soon as possible. Any problems or disputes regarding the series will be settled at the sole discretion of the Series Director with emphasis placed on maintaining a series that is fair for all participants.
