2006 Montgomery County
Race Series
The
Ambler Area Running Club, in conjunction with Pretzel City
Sports, is proud to announce the Montgomery
County Race Series (MCRS) of 2006! The MCRS is a fun way to
encourage runners to participate in more local races, while
providing incentives to those runners who like to compete. There
is no cost to runners beyond the individual races’ normal
registration fees.
Too
good to be true? Not
at all! This is the
first year for the series, so please be patient with us and
we’ll do our best to keep you updated, and to run the series
professionally and to everyone’s advantage. You can help us in
that regard by giving us your feedback as we go along. We would
appreciate any suggestions you have; please email us at mcrs@aarclub.com.)
The
following is a basic outline of how the MCRS will operate:
1.
We’ll
keep track of the races in which you participate.
If you run in at least nine (9) of the races in the series,
your score will be tabulated for a possible award.
Your age category will be based on your age as of
12/31/2006.
2.
We
will use a cross-country type scoring based on all participants
(1st place gets 1 pt, 76th place gets 76
pts). We will award
prizes to the top three overall (M & F), top Masters (M
& F), and top three runners in each age category (M & F)
at the close of the series. “What are the prizes?” you ask.
Patience! We’re still working on that, but we promise
you’ll like them.
3.
If
you participate in at least eleven (11) of the races, you will receive
free entry into any one MCRS race of your choice in 2007, as
long as you ran that particular race in 2006.
4.
Anyone
who participates in thirteen (13) races in the series will be eligible for
a drawing; the winner will be entitled to race in all MCRS races
in 2007 without paying any registration fees!
5.
Even
if you don’t win an award, you’ll see where you rank among
Race Series participants in this area as we post standings
throughout the year!
Requirements
for participants:
- When
registering at a participating race, you must supply your
birthdate and an email address where you may be contacted to
update information. If
you absolutely cannot provide an email address as your
contact information, a phone number will be acceptable.
- Try
to be consistent in the name you use on each entry form, and
write clearly -- or register carefully online. (e.g. If your
name is Charles Brown, please don’t alternate between C.
Brown, Chuck Brown and Charlie Brown.)

let us know if you move or if you change your email address.
