RunNB SuperSeries & Open Championship Races 2024

Among the attractive races on the RunNB calendar, a few are designated SuperSeries. This program aims at encouraging runners to register for these races in order to accumulate points for a provincial ranking. As the results are received at RunNB, the points thus cumulated are compiled and posted on the statistics web page of RunNB. Runners will be awarded points only for the SuperSeries designated distance. RunNB will double the SuperSeries points normally awarded for all Open Championships races.

RunNB appreciates Trackie's and the NB Medical Society's contribution to the 2024 SuperSeries program.

New in 2024

  • In order to qualify for a prize at the RunNB Annual Banquet, runners must participate in at least 3 SuperSeries races during the present year.

  • This year, RunNB will not provide Race Directors with medals for SuperSeries races.

  • Points will be attributed in the 8 categories, male and female, (19 & less, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, 80 +).

  • At the end of the running season, the number of races completed by a runner will be multiplied by the number of points he or she cumulated in order to determine the final ranking for prizes awarded at the RunNB Annual Banquet.

  • All runners will remain in their age category that they started the season, based on his or her age on December 31 of the current year.

2024 SuperSeries Ranking

SuperSeries Score = (Sum of SuperSeries Score per race completed x Number of races completed)

Points are calculated based on the position of the runners in their respective categories (see the list of categories below). At the end of the racing season, the number of races completed by a runner will be multiplied by the number of points he or she has accumulated to determine the final ranking for the prizes awarded at the gala.

In case two or more runners have equal points at the end of the series, the runner with the best time over a distance of 10km will be the winner. All runners will remain in the age category in which they start the season, based on their age on December 31 of the current year.

Criteria for the SuperSeries race

In order for your race to have the SuperSeries status, organizers must meet the following requirements:

  1. If your event has several distances, only one distance can be designated SuperSeries. Therefore, you have to decide which distance you want to apply for. All distances are eligible.

  2. You have to ensure that the course is measured accurately. In order to have an accurate measure, you can use a GPS, a calibrated wheel or any other calibrated mechanism, A car odometer is not precise enough to measure a course but it can be used to measure the course approximately. The bicycle odometer can be used if it is calibrated with a distance measured with precision. It is not necessary to have the course certified by Athletics Canada.

  3. See Day Fee on Policy Page link: https://www.runnb.ca/policies/
