SFTC King & Queen Runner Requirements

Intro & Results / Runner Requirements / Race Requirements

KQ Runner Requirements:

1. You must be an SFTC member to participate in the King/Queen competition
2. SFTC members are automatically included in the KQ competition without having to sign up
3. You must run at least 6 KQ races which total at least 25 miles
4. You must earn at least 3 SFTC Volunteer Points as defined in the Volunteer Point Rules
5. Points must be earned on or before the last King/Queen race of the season

Scoring:
Ages are based on age as of January 1.

All KQ races run in a given year are counted if you are an SFTC member or you signup with KQ before June 1. Anyone signing up after June 1 may only count races run from the date they signup.

All races are age-graded and 10K-normalized using factors published by World Masters Athletics (formerly World Association of Veteran Athletes). Your score is the average age-graded time of your best 6 races which total at least 25 miles. If your 6 fastest races are less than 25 miles, then your other longer KQ races will be substituted in place of shorter races until your 6 scored races total at least 25 miles.

Awards:
Awards are presented at the annual SFTC Awards Banquet in December.

Male/female awards will be given to the top overall, masters, and grandmasters.

There will also be 5-deep age group awards
(15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75 & up).

2 special awards (Mr. and Ms. Mileage) will be given to the runners who logged the most KQ race mileage,
