JD Series | BC Cross Country Championships

Cross country racing- Charles Kalnin photo
The Lower Mainland has a very busy Cross Country season and YOU are welcome to take part!

This season you can...

Tour the most scenic and storied courses in British Columbia ... Join beginning and elite level runners in friendly competition ... Discover a series with very active club participation ... Break away from measured 5k and 10k road events for the hill and dale of cross country ... Enjoy lower fees, minimal registration procedures, smaller fields and fewer distractions

More reasons to run Cross Country!

Real distance runners run XC... mud, hills, etc., running up (and over) and running down (and over), gasp, remember how to breathe and save some air for the finishing sprint ... Success in cross country will lead to success on the roads ... Running cross country will help lengthen your career as a runner

At the conclusion of the Lower Mainland XC Series nearly 3000 runners will have competed. 

Cross country runners run cross country because they just plain love it. Join the long tradition of cross country running and enter all or part of the Lower Mainland Series!

How the Series Works

Overview

David Dolsen photo

The Lower Mainland Cross Country Series provides an opportunity to compete in a number of cross country races throughout the fall/winter season.

The Open/Masters Series consists of 8 races held from September to December. The JD Series consists of 5 races in September and October. All races are sanctioned by BC Athletics.

Scoring

Athletes will be scored on the best of four (4) race results in the Series. Ties are broken by as many races as necessary. You must complete a minimum of 4 races.

You score points in each race based on your finishing position in your category (age/sex). 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.

Series Categories

The age categories for males and females are: 19&U (Jr.), 20-29 (Open), 30-39 (Open/Mast.), 40-49 (Mast.), 50-59 (Mast.), 60-69 (Mast.), and 70+ (Mast.).

Ages are calculated as of 12/01/07 for Masters, and as of 12/31/07 for everyone else.

Series Awards

Prizes include gift certificates from area running stores. Where the number of participants warrants there will be series awards 5 deep per age group.
