2007 MRR Grand Prix Series
The Rules: You are scored on your best 5 out
of 6 races, so you can miss a race and still be in the series. Also, everyone
who does at least 5 races will get a shirt at the end of the series. The overall
winner of the series will get a extra prize. Your score is based upon how many
runners are in your age group and how you place in that group. You also receive
10 points just for finishing.
