Points:
Just by volunteering or participating, you earn 25 points.
If you place in your age division, you earn:

30 points for 1st

9 points for 2nd and
28 points for 3rd

If you volunteer, place or participate in both events at any one race, only your highest point earnings will be recorded. Only registered runners and volunteers helping with the race will receive Grand Prix points. Unofficial runners with no bib numbers, a.k.a. "bandits," will not receive points.

Earn extra credit - receive 10 points each time you participate in a club-organized garbage pick-up, up to a maximum of 30 points.

ShadowChase is a member of the city's N.E.A.T. (Neighborhood Environmental Action Team) and has adopted a 3-mile stretch of the bike path near the El Vista Street Bridge in East La Loma Park. Check the calendar for the next park clean-up. Gloves, bags and pick-up sticks are provided. Even if you're not a member, we invite you to join us in helping to keep the park clean and free of litter.

Regular Grand Prix point standings are published periodically in the club's monthly members-only newsletter and on this web site here.

Awards:
