 The British Columbia Timex
Road Running Series is part of the national
Timex Road Racing Series, held in nine provinces and
culminating in the TransCanada 10K Championships in Ottawa. The BC Series consists of
15 races throughout the year from
January to July, in the Lower Mainland, on Vancouver Island, and in the Interior.
Most are also part of a regional series. All races are sanctioned by
B.C. Athletics, and all courses are certified.
Qualifying for Series Awards
To be considered as a Series participant and thus be eligible for Series
awards, runners must complete a
minimum of five (5) Series races, out of a possible 15.
Note: Where more than one distance is
offered, only participation in the designated Series event is counted.

Scoring Points
The points are calculated based on your gender, finish time and
the race distance. The same formula is used for the Island Race Series.
Each race result produces a score between 1 and 1000.
- Males: Score = (141000 / t) * D^1.0631
- Females: Score = (167000 / t) * D^1.0425
where t = time in seconds; D = distance in kilometres; and ^
indicates exponentiation.
Throughout the Series, the points are added together from your best
five (5) races, to determine your ranking among other
participants.
Rankings
will be posted after each event on this website and at subsequent events. They can also be
e-mailed upon request (email
us.)
