What if you mixed the championship model of Formula motorsport racing with a 5k / 10k run race series? Well, you would get our brand new and exciting set of events that we have planned for 2025, the TRiO Race Series.
So, how does it work and what makes it special?
The TRiO race series will consist of three races taking place in 2025 (see below for race dates and venues). Each race will consist of the usual pleasantries of our events; great venues, chip timing, live results, medals, draw prizes, and an overall great time.
What makes the TRiO Race Series special is that participants will earn points in each of the races that they attend based upon placing in their respective categories. Then, after the third and final race of the series, the individual who has accumulated the most points will be crowned the 2025 TRiO Race Series Champion of their category.
Race Leader Bibs
At races 2 and 3, the point leaders in each of the four championship categories will wear a special race leader bib and will be acknowledged before the start of the race. Race leaders will also start the race at the front of the race pack.
What are the categories?
There will be four champions/categories in total, including an overall female and male champion in both the 5k and 10k:
-
10k Female Champion
-
10k Male Champion
-
5k Female Champion
-
5k Male Champion
Participants may choose to compete in the same distance in each of the three races to have a better chance at winning their category, or they may choose to participate in different distances in separate races. Participating in different distances would, however, reduce your ability to win your category as points earned in a race will only be applied to the category in which you competed in that race. If you run in different distances across events, you will have a separate ranking in the 5k and 10k category.
​
For example, a participant may choose to run the 5k in races one and two, and the 10k in race three. In this situation, the participant would earn points and place separately in their 5k and 10k championship categories.
​
How do you earn points?
In each race that a participant attends, they will earn points based upon their placing in their category. The point system has been devised in such a way that racers who participate in a greater number of races in a given category will automatically overtake participants that participate in less races, regardless of placing. See our points structure below:
-
First place receives 100 points
-
Total points received decreases by one for each placing after 1st, all the way to 30th place
(i.e. 2nd place gets 99 points, 3rd gets 98...30th gets 71 points) -
Places 31 and up receive 70 points each

Tie Breakers
If two participants have an identical point totals, several tie breakers will be in place to determine placing:
​
-
Number of Race Participations in Category - in the case of a points tie, the participant that participated in more races in the category places higher.
-
Average Placing - in the case of a points tie and race category participation tie, the participant with a better average placing ((total of placing in races attended) ÷ number of races attended) in the category will place higher.
-
Faster Average Race Time - in the case of a points tie, a race category participation tie, and an average category placing tie, the participant with the faster average race time ((total of race times in category) ÷ number of races attended) in the category will place higher.
*Final decisions relating to tie breakers will be made by the Race Director. Tie breakers are subject to adjustment prior to the start of the race series.
