Points are calculated using the following formula. 1st Place Age Group Finishers Time (Minutes)/Your Finish Time (Minutes) x 1000 = Total Points ScoreExample:

• 1st Place Age Group Time - 60:00 Minutes
• Your Time - 72:00 Minutes
• 60/72 x 1000 = 833 Points

Competitors ranked below 1,000 places in their Age Group will not earn any points.
