Frequently Asked Questions

Are we competing against everyone that is running?  No, you are only completing against the other participating run clubs.

How many runners do we need to compete? As many as you want to score!  You can score up to two runners per age/gender division and the open divisions.  We suggest you have at least 10 runners, but you can have as many you want.  The more runners, the better chances to score points.    

What if a run club has team members that place 1st – 5th in a division?  We only score the top two runners for each run club per age/gender division – so that club will get points for 1st and for 2nd place in that division.  The 3rd – 5th place times for that run club will not count and the runners in 6th place will get the 3rd place points, etc.   

Won’t the largest run club win?  Definitely NOT!  A run club could have the most runners but all of them are 30-50 year olds.  This won’t help them in all the categories.

Can G-Eau Big(Bigger) participants score in all events that they are running?  Definitely!
