RunNB is pleased to announce the host races for the 2020 Trackie/Medical Society Super Series and Provincial Championships.
"The RunNB Super Series Program is an incentive to runners who wish tocompete in races where they can win a medal in their age category and accumulate points throughout the running season and possibly win an award at the annual RunNBGala, " declared RunNBChairman, Donald Wade.
"The Provincial Championship program aims at encouraging elite runners to compete in one of the five distances offered and crown a champion, male and female, in each distance," added Wade
RunNB is introducing a new championship policy in 2020 by lifting the New Brunswick residency restriction. Out-of-province runners now qualify for the provincial championships.
Effective 2020, runners must participate in at least five Super Series sanctioned races to qualify for the awards offered at the annual RunNBGala. At the end of the season, the Super Series standings will be determined by multiplying the number of points cumulated by the number of races completed. Furthermore, only runners who have purchased their RunNB Membership card will be eligible to win one of the top three prizes in each age category at the annualRunNB Gala.
The new Super Series formula could advantage a slower runner who participates in more races.
For example:
