Points may also be given to those who complete the distance after the
time limit has been reached, but only if the race director approves of
doing so.
5. Race results for runners who do not complete the race distance
within the time limit are provided as a courtesy. Providing of
these runners’ results in no way implies that the runners will be
given points. The criteria for points eligibility are given in
Paragraph 4 above.
6. For series award categories A to F:
a. Qualification is based on the entrant’s age as of July 31, 2010.

distance plus additional points based on the runner's finishing
position relative to the number of starters in the race.
c. Switching from one race to another race in a
multiple‑race event will not be permitted after the event has
started. If a runner completes the race in which he/she was
registered and then decides to continue running in another race, points
will be given only for the race in which the runner was registered.

thirteen race point values accumulated by each runner will be used to
