Grand Prix Results and Standings |
To compete in the Grand Prix, runners may choose five races out of the list set forth below and must fulfill one volunteer requirement at any local road race or TCRC track meet. The races are
In 2007, the TCRC Scholarship Run 8K and a half-marathon were added to the list of races. Also in 2007, the list for Youth participants was expanded to include the 400 meters and the 800 meters. In 2005 the rules were amended to include any marathon in the list of eligible races. In 2004, the service requirement was relaxed, so that service can be performed at a much larger number of events. The scoring will continue to be based on the Performance Factor and points will be computed from a formula based on recent world records. This puts all the race distances on the same universal standard.
Runners who complete the Grand Prix will receive a finisher's mug, plus we will have awards in the following categories: M/F Open, Masters (40 and Over), Veterans (50 and Over) and Youth (18 & Under). The winner of each category will receive a framed certificate and dinner at our annual banquet. Plus there are Age Group categories in 10- year age groups: 18&U, 19-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70+. These winners will receive a certificate and recognition at our annual banquet.
The awards will be given in the order listed: Open, Masters, Veterans, and Youth. There will be no duplicate awards. For example, if the first four runners are 40, 65, 49, and 51, the 40 year old is the Open (any age) winner, the 65 year old is the Masters (40 and up) winner, and the 51 year old is the Veterans winner. The 49 year old will receive an age-group award only.
Please forward questions to Suzanne Myette.
The TCRC Grand Prix is free and open to all runners, members and non-members alike. Grand Prix standings are computed from the official results of each Grand Prix race with the exception of the marathon and half-marathon.
Runners must submit their marathon and/or half-marathon results (run on a certified course) to Greg Amend for inclusion in the Grand Prix. Please email your information using a descriptive title such as "Marathon Time" or "Grand Prix Data" to avoid confusion with Spam.
All runners must submit their volunteer requirement to Greg Amend for determination of the final standings. The volunteer requirement can be met at any time during the year. Also, you can help at one of the January Freeze 10K races and receive credit for the current year or the previous year (e.g., work in January 2009 to get credit for 2008 or 2009).
The deadline for submittal of volunteer, half-marathon, and marathon information is the date of the last 10k of the January Freeze. Submissions after this date will not be acknowledged.
For awards and scoring purposes, ages will be based on your age as of January 1.
A "performance factor" will be used to determine standings. The points will be computed from a formula based on world records as of January 2003. If a runner runs a world record for the distance, he or she will receive approximately 1000 points. To determine your PF, see the women's table or men's table down below. For further details and a discussion of the justification for the PF in the Grand Prix, please see TCRC Grand Prix - Performance Factor. You can compute your own PF using Excel and the file PerformanceFactor.xls.
Award winners will be determined using the sum of performance factors. Each individual's score will use his or her highest five performance factors. Chip times will be used for race scoring, when available.
