New Trail Race and Trail Series
TO SEE UPDATES TO THIS POST, PUSH THE "F5" KEY.
There is a new Kansas City Trail Series happening, and it is put on by the Kansas City Trail Nerds!
If you missed the inaugural event, don't worry; there are make-up events. (This posting will be updated on a regular basis).
The trail series shirts were designed by Jason Crosby, and you can pick one up at any of our upcoming events for a measly 8-bucks.

Announcing the Kansas City Trail Nerds Trail Race Series !
We have some decent INEXPENSIVE trail races in the Kansas City Metro area now, so why not have a Trail Race Series?
Trail Race Series RULES and details:
There will be at least 7 races in the 2006/2007 series, culminating with the Psycho WyCo Run Toto Run in Feb '07. (See list of races below). There will also be 5 chances to make-up points for races not run, and put those points in a "make-up points bank." You will get 1 point for every mile of each event that you finish. In addition, points will be awarded for the top five male & female finishers in your respective age/sex category.
1 st : 5 Points
2 nd : 4 Points
3 rd : 3 Points
4 th : 2 Points
5 th : 1 Point
SERIES AGE CATEGORIES : Male and Female
10-19
20-29
30-39
40-49
50-59
60+
There will also be certain designated "make-up" races. You can run these races, and have potential points "in the bank" to be used to cover the points you would have gotten from a missed event. Example: You miss the 10 points at the Sandrat Run, but cover it by running the Alternate Chili Run. You cannot use leftover makeup points at the end of the series, they will just disappear. Also, for make-up races, there will be no points awarded for the top five male & female finishers in each age group.
The top three (3) winners of each category will be awarded prizes provided by The Kansas City Trail Nerds and/or their sponsors at the conclusion of the series.
Tie breaker:
If there is a tie in any age/sex category, we have a "best 2 out of three" competition. To win, folks who are points-tied will have to win the best in 2 of these 3 events: 1) 100-meter trail sprint; 2) 1-quart Gatorade chugging contest; 3) Empty homebrewing keg-tossing contest.
Here are the Series Races and Make-up Races
