Winter Series
The Muscat Road Runners Winter series runs from October to March. There are 9 runs of which you will need to participate in 6 to qualify for your end of series t-shirt. The runs vary in length from 5k all the way through to the Half Marathon (21kms) to be held at the end of January/beginning February 2008. The longer runs usually take place during the coolest months of the year - November, December, January and February.
- Your best 6 runs will count to your overall standing in the league at the end of the season.
- There are separate leagues for women and men
- In each league, the fastest runner gets 50 points. If there are more than 31 runners participating in one league, 20 points will be given to all runners who end at a position lower than 31. 20 points will also be given to all runners who start but do not complete the course (e.g retires injured etc....).
- Runners who run less than the full distance, will get their positions in the run after the runners who complete the full distance
- Winter Series race times are not corrected for late starts
