Goat Series

The Goat Series is a trail running series that features hilly courses in local parks. Challenge yourself by picking a hilly course at your level, and channel your inner mountain goat. Score points in the series to see how well you can place among your competitors, or just get in some hilly miles in preparation for summer adventures in the mountains.

With events in local parks, Goat Series events are an opportunity to practice hill running and rack up a lot of elevation gain in your backyard! The series is a great opportunity to have fun in an organized and supportive environment while working on your fitness goals, possibly including preparing for mountain races later in the year with longer climbs.

SERIES COMPETITION

Are you competitive?

  • Your best 2 performances in the Goat Series will rank you in the series standings!
  • If you want to do fewer events, that’s okay! Series events are open to everyone.
  • You may register for events individually, or use Series Registration to sign up for more than one event at once for your own convenience. Using Series Registration is not required to be part of the series competition.
  • If you complete any of the Goat Series events, you are automatically entered.
  • Points will be awarded separately to runners in the Female and Open categories. After receiving points for placement within the Female and Open categories, participants will then be divided into their age category for the series competition.
  • Participants in all distances in each event will be ranked together, using performance coefficients to scale all results.
  • Series points are based upon the scaled race time for each event. The average of the top three calculated (virtual) climb totals in each category (Female and Open) will be assigned 100 points, and each competitor’s points are calculated as the ratio of that competitor’s scaled time to the average scaled time of the top three in that competitor’s category multiplied by 100.
  • In the event of a tie, each runner’s highest point score is used for the tie-breaker. If two runners have identical highest point scores, then the next highest point scores are compared until the tie is broken.
  • The top series participants receive special recognition and free entry to a future trail run.
  • Awards will be presented in the following categories: Female, Open, Masters Female 40+, Masters Open 40+, Youth Female 12/under, Youth Open 12/under, Junior Female 13-19, Junior Open 13-19
