Oregon Ultra Trail Series Rules

There is no entry fee to participate. When you finish a series race, you receive points. The sum of your highest four scores determines your score for the series.

Your age group for the series will be your age on the last race you run in the series.

Scoring System: The scoring is based on the race distance, and on your time compared to the winning time. The winning time for the race is divided by your time and that percentage is multiplied by 31 for the 50KM races, by 37 for the Peterson Ridge Rumble, by 50 if you run the PCT 50 Mile race, and by 62 if you run Where's Waldo. Points are calculated separately for the men's and women's races. Men use the men's winning time, and women use the women's winning time to calculate points.
- For Example: In 1999 Dana Bandy ran 5:27:14 at the McDonald Forest race. The winner Scott Jurek ran 4:10:33. Scott Jurek’s score for that race would be 31 points. Dana Bandy’s score for that race would be 250 minutes (Jurek’s time) divided by 327 minutes (Bandy’s time) = .765 times 31 = 23.7 points.
- Your score will be the sum of your race scores, up to a maximum of four races. You will be counted as a series participant and your score will make you eligible for awards if you complete at least two races in the series.
Prizes: Each race director contributes prizes to the race series. The age group winners will be determined at the last event of the series and awarded a gift certificate to REI.

Montrail and Sporthill provide awards to the overall men's and women's winners, who will not be eligible for the REI gift certificates.
At least ten certificates will be awarded for the age group categories.
Raffle prizes for those who have completed at least four races will also be drawn at the awards ceremony. Plan to attend even if you aren't running to be eligible for this drawing.
The overall winners of the men's and women's races also receive a free entry into each race for the next season.

The race series is a way to encourage friendly competition, and appreciation for the runners who participate in Oregon races. Have Fun!
