RunNB SuperSeries & Championship Races 2023
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 Provincial Championships races.
RunNB appreciates Trackie's and the NB Medical Society's contribution to the 2023 SuperSeries program.

New in 2023
- 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.
- In order to reduce the expenses and avoid the waste of unclaimed medals, the number of age categories will go from 8 to 6 categories.
- RunNB will provide Race Directors of each SuperSeries the medals awarded to the first three positions, male and female in each of the six age categories (19 & less, 20-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70 +). The RunNB Executive Director will send the medals to the Race directors prior to the race.
- A new ranking method was determined for the final positions. From now on, 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.
- In the case when two or many runners have equal standings at the end of the season, the runner with the fastest time at the 10 km distance will be declared the winner.
- 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.
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.
Age categories
Men & Women: 19 & under, 20-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70+

Criteria for the SuperSeries race
In order for your race to have the SuperSeries status, organizers must meet the following requirements:
- 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, from the mile to the marathon are eligible.
- 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.
- RunNB will provide race directors of each SuperSeries race the medals awarded to the three first positions,, male and female in the six age categories (19 & less, 20-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70 et plus). The RunNB Executive Director will send the medals to the race director prior to the race.
- RunNB will ensure that there are never two races of this program on the same date to allow runners who want to participate in all of them to do so.
