Are you just getting into the sport and have a need for speed? Were you a trackster long ago and want to relive your glory days? Or did you just finish your High School/Middle School season and still feel that fire burning? Well, whoever you are, the Empire Runners Summer Track Series is for you! We're pumped to be able to partner with adidas to bring some more excitement, and prizes, to this long-standing Empire Runners tradition. We will be giving out a total of 10 pairs of adidas running shoes for the series, 5 for males and 5 for females, based on standings in our adidas/Heart and Sole Grand Prix! Grand Prix Rules: Any athlete finishing in the top-10 of his/her (individual/non-relay) race will earn points in the overall standings. An athlete can score in any number of events at any number of meets, and we will be scoring males and females separately. Scoring will be as follows: For events with heats, points will be awarded by time only, not by place in heat. If the athletes ran in separate heats, points will be evenly divided. Say athlete A and athlete B run the tied-for-8th fastest times of the day, but in separate heats. 8th place nets you 3 points, while 9th nets 2 points; the total is 5 points. Thus, athletes A and B would each earn 2.5 points, in effect splitting those 5 points between them. We will also be raffling off Heart and Sole gear at every meet. A list of winners, chosen at random from those participating at the meet, will be posted at our table near the end of every meet. Give-away specifics to be determined at the meets. | ||
