Scoring

Points are awarded on the following basis: -

For example: – on the 25th January, 2010, the Mythical 10km race took place…..

Name – Time – Percentage of Winner’s Time – Age/Sex Factor – Points
Ben Runner (aged 35) – 31.00 – 100% – 1.0286 – 102.9
James Jackson (aged 30) – 34.30 – 89.9% – 1.0084 – 90.6
Kate Harrismith (aged 65) – 40.00 – 77.5% – 1.4803 – 114.7

To allow for holidays / illness / injury, only the best ten out of the fourteen scores count.
