TRIPLE CROWN RACE SERIES

HOME      TRIPLE CROWN POINTS STANDINGS

    The Indiana County Triple Crown Race Series began several years ago, and as the name implies, it consisted of three races.  To be eligible for the championship, a runner had to compete in all three races.

    Two new races were added to the series in recent years, and now runners must complete three of the five races in order to qualify for the championship.  Since part of the scoring involves how many runners one finishes ahead of, it is advantageous to run more than just three races.  Only your top three will count but you may score better in one race than another depending of the size of the field and your individual effort on a given day.

     The final race of the series was the Run For The Trail 7K held on August 14, 2011.  

     The results of the 2011 Triple Crown Race Series are listed below.  Trophies have been ordered and will be available shortly.  Points totals for those who completed at least three of the races, as well as points earned for all those who ran Triple Crown races this year can be found at TRIPLE CROWN POINTS  

    Scoring for each event is as follows:

1. The total number of finishers minus your place plus one equals your race points based on your finish

2.  Your age minus 29 if your are older than 29, or 29 minus your age if you are younger than 29 equals your age graded points.

Those two factors added together will give you your points total for the particular race.

     In addition, five points are given for the race series if you are a member of Indiana Road Runners Club.

    You must complete three or more of the races to be eligible for the Triple Crown Championship.  Your points total toward the championship will consist of your top three highest races, plus five points if you are a member of IRRC.

The Triple Crown Winners for 2011 are:

      Congratulations to our winners for 2011 and our thanks to all who ran in IRRC races in 2011.
