EVENT FORMAT
Four age divisions: (U30) (30-39) (40-49) (50+). There are no requirements for number of participants in age division.
POINT SYSTEM
Team Points
100 points will be awarded to the 1st place team, 90 points will be awarded to the 2nd place team and points will move down incrementally by 10 until the 8th place team has been awarded 30 points. All teams that finish below 8th place will be awarded 10 points. Each team must have at least four (4) runners in order to qualify for team points. Any team with less than four (4) runners registered will automatically get the minimum of 10 team points earned. All individual runners will still qualify for individual points earned.
After the team scores are computed and adjusted with the formula, we will then rank teams in order from 1st to 10th to then officially award points based off the 100-point system ranking scale. 100 points will be awarded to the 1st place team, 90 points will be awarded to the 2nd place team and points will move down incrementally by 10 until the 8th place team has been awarded 30 points. All teams that finish below 8th place will be awarded 10 points.
Individual Points
5, 4, and 3 points will be awarded to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place male and female runners in each of the 4 age divisions. These individual points will be overall for all runners combined among all competing divisions to determine the top 3 in each age division by gender.
How is the 5K run scored?
- Scoring for a team is computed through the WAVA Table of Factors that adjusts a runner’s time based on age, gender, and distance. Female runners are adjusted more than male runners. With gender in the calculation, the results are age-graded among the other runners in that age group which then are sorted from fastest to slowest to determine individual runner results
- By having age-graded times, companies that do not have males in their late teens or early 20s are not put at a disadvantage to companies that do in other words, females and older runners can be competitive
