Rules

1. It is not necessary to qualify for the Grand Prix to compete in the Trail Series.
2. For each race in the Trail Series:  Lou will do some magic to adjust the race finishing times using the Strava Grade Adjusted Pace, to allow a more fair comparison between flatter courses and courses with more climbing and technical trail. These times will then be converted to an age-performance percentage (see below). That percentage will be converted to a 4-digit number, which becomes your score for the race.
3. Top 3 scores per runner will be totaled, resulting in a final score for the series.

Age-Graded Scoring

Age-graded scoring allows runners of any age and any gender to be compared fairly against each other. If you are interested in the fine details, click here. The official age-grading calculator used by FSRC for the Trail Series can be found here.

Awards

Awards for the top 3 female and male winners are distributed at the FSRC Year-End Celebration Banquet.
