Ian's Update - June 28
​
With the Cherry Garcia 5k and 10k in the past, as well as the Ruidoso Marathon, there are some new scores in the race series. Cliff Mathews ran a fast 5k, racking up 154 points to add to his total. He now is the highest scoring participant in the series, with 399 points. Iris Matthews ran the 5k scoring 85 points and Margaret Matthews ran the 10k to score 78 points, so Iris leads her sister in the female under 19 category by a small margin. Steve and Todd Nickerson ran in the 10k and Kellie Nickerson did 5k, but all three already have higher scores in the relevant categories, so their scores remain unchanged at 277, 351 and 172 respectively.

Ken Gordon ventured down to Ruidoso for the marathon and came back with 130 points, his first score in the series.

Next up on the roads, the Chunky Monkey 5k and 10k on July 14th, and on the trails the Ruidoso Grindstone races (various distances in the 'short trail' category) on July 28th.

As always, let the series coordinator know if you'd like to be included in the series — and any of the races in the series that you may already have run so far will count.

​Points are accumulated in a series of designated races in or not far from Albuquerque.​

• The designated races include the following six categories:  5K, 10K, half-marathon, and marathon on road courses, plus a “short” trail run, and a 50K or 50 mile ultra.
• For each category of race there are several options so that competitors may avoid problems for entry, such as field size limitations, schedule conflicts, etc.
• Points are awarded based on how your finish time compares with the median time for the event. Median time = 100 points. If you are faster you'll score over 100; slower, less than 100.
• Final point score is the sum of your highest four scores in any of the six categories
• The competition extends over the calendar year.
• Competition is divided into 10-year age groups except for the oldest and youngest:    0-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, 80+, female and male. Members moving up an age group during the year will belong to the higher age group if their birthday falls before July 1.​​​​​​
