Race

Definitions

  • Race: races will only count towards the rankings if the running times are registered and the times are published by the organization, online or written.
    1. A staircase race does count towards your total races.
    2. If at a swim-run or triathlon, the running part is measured separately and the times are published by the organization, online or written, than this result will count towards your total races.
    3. If the times are not published you need to send proof to the race secretary who then decide if race counts or not.
  • Relay: A race between teams, in which each team member participates in only a set part of the race and is then relieved by another member of the team. When you subscribe for a race as a team, but you do not relieve another team member and the times are measured separately, this will count as a regular race and not as a relay.
  • Beer chase: There is a maximum of 1 beer chase that will be valid for the rankings. Which beer chase that is must be stated prior to the race. The beer chase must meet the following conditions:
    1. 1 or more time registrars for a correct registration of the finishing times.
    2. Everyone drinks beer (unless otherwise discussed).
    3. The race must be finished until the very end.
    4. The participant must follow the given route.
    5. The race must be held uninterrupted.

  1. Every member/member of honor is responsible for the correct filing of their own race results on our website.
  2. The season will start at 1 September up to and including 31 August.
  3. Races results need to be filled in within 2 months. If the organization didn’t publish the results yet contact the race secretary.
