Series Rules
You must be a UMTR member to participate in the series. Entrance in the UMTR Subzero Winter Series does not guarantee entry into any individual race — entrants are responsible for their own race registration and all entry fees.
General Rules:
• Races started prior to the official start time will not be counted. This ensures all runners have the same conditions in which to complete an event.
• There is no retroactive scoring — only races completed after entering the series will be scored.
• A runner must complete at least three races to win overall or in their age class.
• Only official finishes, as determined by the event's Race Director, will earn points.
• There will be overall male and female winners, plus age groups: Open (under 40), Masters (40–49), and Grandmasters (50+). Age is determined as of April 1 prior to the series start.
• Overall winners will not be eligible for age group awards.
Scoring:
• Participants have three weeks to self-report results. After three weeks, results will not be accepted or scored.
• Runners must complete the distance for which they originally registered — longer distances do not count for the Trail Series.
• Points: 50 for 1st place among series runners, 40 for 2nd, 30 for 3rd, 20 for 4th, 10 for all other finishers.
• Volunteer Bonus: Volunteering at any UMTR series race earns 15 bonus points, applied to both overall and age class standings. Up to 3 bonuses per series season. Notify the series director of volunteering within three weeks or by the next race, whichever is later.
• Point system applies per age group and for the overall championship.
• There will be no tie-breakers for age group or overall standings.
