2006 RunBig Chicago
Competitive Race Circuit
Rules

·        You must be a RunBig member to participate in the circuit.

·        Submit your RunBig Circuit application to RunBig Chicago by mail, fax, e-mail, or using the on-line form at
www.RunBig.org

·        You must report your times to the RunBig Clydesdale scorer 

o    using on-line results reporting form (preferred)

o       By e-mail: dbhale@uic.edu.

·        Scoring for the Competitive Race Circuit will be done uniformly for all races. Some races may have their own Clydesdale competition; these are separate from the RunBig Competitive Race Circuit and do not affect RunBig scoring.

·        You must run at least five (5) races and your seven (7) best finishes will be used for your overall results.

·        Weigh-in: You must verify your weight division via weigh-in on or before August12, 2006. An official weigh-in can be any CARA Clydesdale weigh-in, a weigh-in where RunBig is doing a race: or at a RunBig meeting.

·        CARA Clydesdale-type scoring will be used, where the RunBig participant placing first ahead of any other RunBig participants in the same category gets 15 points, the second RunBig gets 14, etc.

o       Note that where other runners place, who are not competing in the circuit,  is not considered--you simply need an official race finish time to report, and we’ll do the rest.
