Beginning in March and ending in December, the Grand Prix of ten Morgantown area races is designed to provide runners of all abilities with an opportunity to compete for a series championship award (top ten male, top ten female) while helping the various worthy causes that benefit from each race. Individual standings in the Grand prix will be determined by accumulated points as measured by the handicapped rating system described below. Only an inidividual's top five race scores will be factored into the final total.

The System

• Finish Points: Total number of finishers in a race plus one minus your place of finish.
• Handicap Points: One point for each year your age is over or under age 29.
• Bonus Points:
  • 25 Points for finishing a race.
  • 5 Points for WVTC/Morgantown Roadrunner members.
