2019 Lower Mainland Series Cross Country Racing JD/Midget/Open/Masters Events

How the Series Works:

Overview

The Lower Mainland JD & Midget Cross Country Series provides an opportunity for Junior Development and Midget athletes age 9-15 to compete in a number of cross country races throughout the fall/winter season. Use the Series to prepare for Championship races!

The Junior Development & Midget Series consists of 6 races in September and October. The Youth/Junior/Open/Masters Series consists of 8 races. All races are sanctioned by BC Athletics.

The Open/Masters Series consists of 8 races held from September to December. All races are sanctioned by BC Athletics

Scoring

JD & Midget Runners will be scored on their 4 best performances. Any completed races count towards the series.

Open & Masters athletes will be scored on the best of five (5) race results in the Series. You must complete a minimum of 5 races. Ties will be broken based on performances in the BC Cross Country Championship event.

The points are assigned as follows: 1st = 30 points, 2nd = 27, 3rd = 25, 4th = 23, 5th = 21, 6th to 25th each place drops 1 point.

Any ties will be decided by position in the BC Provincial Championship event.

Runners must compete in the appropriate allocated race in order to score in their series. For example, if a junior runner elects to compete in a separate senior race then he/she cannot score in a separate age-appropriate event on the same day.

For the JD/Midget athletes in the Series: Plaques will be awarded to the top 3 boys and girls in each age group.

For the Youth/Junior/Open/Masters in the Series: Prizes of gift certificates from area running stores will be awarded to the top three in each age division. If the number of participants warrants, awards may go 5 deep per age group.

Score points for your club throughout the series. Each BCA member club\’s 8 best individual points will be scored from each race, and accumulated to determine the winner of the Series Club Challenge Trophy. No minimum club size.

2019 Lower Mainland Series Events:

Only selected races will be attended by Valley Royals running groups as a whole team (See Race Schedules for Endurance Group and JDs above). Athletes interested in running extra races to compete for awards, based on their best 5 race results, please discuss with your coach for approval and ask Christa to do your registration ahead of each race entry deadline.
