MTC/New Balance Racing Series

You must OPT IN to be eligible to earn points for the 2021 racing season. You can sign up anytime of the year. Once enrolled, you will start earning points. Points are not retroactive.

Anyone who participates in this racing series will be placed in their respective age group based on their actual age on January 1, 2021.  Whatever your age is on January 1, 2021 is your Racing Series age group for the ENTIRE 2021 racing year. This rule only applies to the scoring of the racing series. It does not affect any age group awards that are handed out on race day.

If the overall winner is over 40, then the fastest male/female runner under 40 will receive 8 points instead of 6.

Only MTC club members in good standing will be awarded points.

If there is a tie in the final standings, then so be it. There will be no tiebreaker applied.  Racing Series point totals will be posted on the MTC website. It is the responsibility of each club member to check their points and report any discrepancies.

Awards will be presented at the annual MTC Awards Banquet in January.

Racing Series includes 5 year age groups starting with the 0-19 yr. old’s.  Master, Grandmaster, Senior Grandmaster and Veteran Grandmaster winners will be pulled from the age groups and awarded separately.  The youth category is not eligible to take overall
