A points competition for members of ABQ Road Runners Club
Updated 2.2.2024

The Albuquerque Road Runners Race Series returns for 2024. This is a set of public races in Albuquerque or not too far away in which club members are encouraged to take part in friendly competition with each other, with encouragement to try a variety of distances and conditions. As before, there are 6 categories of races, four distances on the roads (5k, 10k, half-marathon, and marathon) and two trail categories (long trail and short trail). Only your best score in each of the six categories counts in the final year-end total. Points are awarded based on the winner’s time as a percentage to your finish time, with male and female times calculated separately. So, if you take twice the time of the winner, your points would be 50. Competition is within 10-year age brackets, with age as of July 1 2024 deciding which group you belong in.
For 2024, more races are included, compared to 2023. Limiting the number of races last year seems to have contributed to fewer participants in the series. The races are listed below, by category, and also in calendar order. If a race is cancelled, a substitute will be named if a suitable one can be found on the calendar. Send me an e-mail if you’d like to be part of the series.
