MISSION

The Frontrunners Island Race Series is designed to promote running, fitness and inter-club competition on the Island.  The series is organized by the Vancouver Island Runners' Association (VIRA), and the local running clubs.  Between January and April eight races will be staged in various Island communities in all categories from Junior to Veterans.

Teams/Clubs

Teams may represent clubs, recreation centers, Y's, companies or other groups.  There is no limit to the number of runners on a team and the members of a team can vary from event to event in the Series.

Your team/club name must be clearly indicated on your entry for in order to qualify your points towards that team/club's standings. No changes or additions will be permitted after the race.

Scoring

Individual - Each runner's time will be recorded and points awarded according to performance.  To qualify for Series Awards, runners must run a minimum of five races. The five best scores (including at least one race over 10K) will be averaged to determine series standings.  Runners in the 16 to 19 category will have the four best scores of all races.  Runners in the 15 and under category will have the three best scores.  Runners under 20 or 70 and over do not have to run a race longer that 10k to qualify for Series awards.

Full point standings will be posted at each event after the first race.  Race packages not picked up by the commencement of the race are forfeited to the race organizers.
