Team Competition

Team competition uses cross-country style scoring to determine each team's score. The top 5 finishers, according to their place in their age group, will be combined for that team's race score. If there's a tie, the team's next non-scoring runner with the fastest time will be the tiebreaker. The winning team will be showcased during the 10am awards ceremony and will receive a unique award!
