Fleet Feet Chicos 2024 Race Series Challenge
Who doesn’t love a challenge? This challenge is based on the three races that are owned by Fleet Feet Chico. How to play:
Do and complete a race form each races event:
- Bidwell Classic on March 2nd, 2024 (5k, 10k, Half Marathon)
- Fall Trail Classic on October 20th, 2024 (Endurance Challenge 50k, Half Marathon)
- Almond Bowl on November 3rd, 2024 (5k, 10k)
Of the races you must do a minimum combination of a 5k, 10k and Half Marathon or greater.
(Examples: BC 10k, Trail half, AB 5k or BC half, Trail Endurance Challenge, AB 10k)
Note: If you do the endurance challenge as part of your challenge it can count towards any race distance if you complete at least one lap (one lap – 5k, two laps – 10k, 3-4 laps- Half Marathon) But you will only be age graded for this race if you complete it.
All race times will be verified, age graded and uploaded by the race director the week after each race.
What is age grading?
Age grading is a way of analyzing running performance relative to your age and gender. It is based on world record race time data and attempts to estimate the best possible time an athlete can run a certain distance based on their age and gender. By using age grading this “levels” the playing field, allowing older or younger runners to be able to complete equally against those in in 20’s-40’s.
When your race is age graded you will receive a score. At the end of the challenge each of your 3 scores will be added up to give you a final score.
