GRAND PRIX ENTRY DETAILS
1. Cost is $5.00 for the entire series. This is above and beyond the race entry fees, and is a
one-time fee paid to the MDRA. GP scoring will include only GP registrants who are registered
finishers of a GP race. No retroactive registration; runners registering after Human
Race, for example, will not be counted in Human Race’s GP results even if they ran it.
2. Runners score according to their finish place out of all GP registered finishers each race.
The first GP runner in each race will score 1,000 points. All others will score based upon
the percentile in which the runners finish such that the middle finisher will always score
500 points. Points are awarded without regard to age or sex.
3. There are 14 GP races. A runner may compete in as few or as many of the races as they
choose; however, results from only 10 races will count. If a runner runs more than 10 races,
only their 10 highest scores will count. Anyone running in 10 or fewer races will have all of
their scores included.
4. Scores are tallied within age division for each sex. Runners do not change age divisions
during the year. A runner ‘s division is set according to his division on the day of his first
GP score. For example, a runner turning 50 on April 1 would be scored all year in the 45-
49 bracket if she runs Human Race as a GP registrant, but would score all year in the 50-
54 bracket if her first GP score is after April 1.
5. Age groups for both male and females are 0-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59,
60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75-79, 80-84, 85+. In order for an age group to exist, it must have
at least two participants, and each participant must complete 2 races.
6. Grand Prix standing information will be included in RunMinnesota, and on the MDRA
website @ http://www.runmdra.org/ and e-mailed to all participants.
7. There will be awards for each age group winner, which will be presented at the MDRA
annual party held in January 2012. A special award to anyone who participates in
all 14 races. In addition, anyone participating in at least 10 of the races will get a prize.
8. The dates listed above are the probable dates, but should be reconfirmed as race day
approaches.
