How the Series Works
Overview
The Lower Mainland JD Cross Country Series provides an opportunity for Junior Development athletes age 9-15 to compete in a number of cross country races throughout the fall/winter season. Use the Series to prepare for Championship races!
The Junior Development Series consists of 6 races in September and October. The Open/Masters Series consists of 8 races. All races are sanctioned by BC Athletics.
Scoring
Runners will be scored on their 4 best completed races. Any completed races count towards the series.
The points are assigned as follows: 1st = 30 points, 2nd = 27, 3rd = 25, 4th = 23, 5th = 21, 6th to 25th each place drops 1 point.
Runners must compete in the appropriate allocated race in order to score in their series. For example, if a junior runner elects to compete in a separate senior race then he/she cannot score in a separate age-appropriate event on the same day.
Series Categories
The series age categories are based on the year of birth: 1995, '96, '97, '98, '99, '00, '01.
Series Awards
Medals to the first 3 boys and girls in each age group.
