Dashing Whippets Track Meet

Due to popular demand, we’ve added a Distance Medley Relay to the order of events!

The top scoring team at the Dashing Whippets Track Meet will receive $100 (with DWRT being ineligible as we are the “home” team).  The point system is as follows:

• 5 points to the top attending team, 4 for second and so on through fifth place
• 5 points for to the team with the winner in each event (including all relay events), 4 points for second and so on through fifth place

For instance, if NBR brings the second most people (5 points), wins the women’s 5000 and the men’s mile (total of 10 points), comes in third in the 4x400 co-ed relay (3 points), and fifth in the men’s sprint medley relay (1 point), they will have a total of 19 points.  Make sure to enter your team name when you register!

5. 400 Meters
6. Mile
7. 4x400 Meter Relay

Relay events will include men’s, women’s, and mixed teams.  The 5000 will start promptly at 11:00 am so be there before then to warm up.  If you want to run the 5000, it is advisable to pre-register.  As we hope to start the Sprint Medley Relay at noon, organizers reserve the right to run mixed-gender heats in the 5000, seeded by projected time.

Cost will be $10 for 3 events if you pre-register (each member of the relay team must be a paying participant).  Raceday registration will cost $15.

Prizes will be $100 for the top team (scoring system to be announced in a future post) and Gift Certificates to a local running store for winners of individual events.
