About the Race

Decathlon Style Scoring, 400M (.25mile), 800M (.5mile), 1500M (1mile), 3000M (2mile) Races within the Race

Hott Shot Running Challenge at Johns Prince Park is OPEN

Cool, Sign Me Up!

When you compete in one of our signature races, you are running 4 individual trials/races. 4 starts, 4 finishes and 1 final score. You will be competing in a 400meter, 800meter, 1500meter and a 3000meter race. The total miles covered is 5700 meters or 3.54 miles. Slightly longer then the last 5k you ran. Each race is scored using a patent pending scoring system similar to the way a modern-day decathlon is scored. Instead of competing on just time, you are competing against a point system.

For example, you (a female) just finished the 400 meter race, your time was 1 min 40 sec. The 1 min 40 sec is graded as a score of 1,433 points. Your competitor in your same age group may have run 1 min 45.05 sec and scored 1,408 points. Congrats! you are on top, albeit just for the moment. Your competitor may be better suited to run the longer distances and isn’t out of the race because you have a slight lead. YOU HAVE 3 MORE TRIALS TO COMPLETE!!!

Team, Relay and Time Challenge

The Team Challenge can include any number of runners. Only the top 4 runners on the team will be used to determine the total team score. Registering your group for the Team Challenge automatically enters the group into the Relay Challenge.

The Relay Challenge can include any number of runners. Only the top 4 runs, NOT RUNNERS (400M, 800M, 1500M, 3000M) will be used to determine the total team score. The team points total must come from 4 different runners. Registering your group for the Relay Challenge automatically enters the group into the Team Challenge.

As the group captain, did you remember to enter your predicted group time for the Predictive Time Challenge. The predicted group time will be compared against your actual group time. The winner of this challenge will be the group that comes closest to their actual team time without going over that predicted time. ALL team members times are counted in this challenge. Only those teams that finish under their predicted time are considered for this group challenge. For example, your group ran a combined total time of 2:30:10.50. If you had guessed your groups combined time would be 2:20:15.00, then you would have been over the predicted value and eliminated from a podium appearance.

Awesome!, Register Your Group Here!

The Scoring System

Scoring System & Formulas

In the decathlon, an athlete receives a score for each event, with the cumulative score from all 10 disciplines determining the final standings. Kevin Mayer holds the world record with a total score of 9,126 points. Scoring is independent of other athletes. It’s not based on final position in each discipline, but rather an individual’s final time, height or distance.

Here are the formulas:

Track Events: Points = a*(b-T)ˆc, where T is time in seconds, while a, b and c are set numbers unique to each event

Jumps: Points = a*(M-b)ˆc, where M is measured in centimeters, while a, b and c are set numbers unique to each event

Throws: Points = a*(D-b)ˆc, where D is distance in meters, while a, b and c are set numbers unique to each event

Ok, great that's out of the way. Now, forget everything I just wrote and just remember each race is awarded a predetermined number of points according to a set of performance tables. These are added, race by race, and the winner is the runner with the highest point total after the 4 running events. If you havn't figured it out yet, the faster you run the more points you will score. Plan your races so you wont be bonking when that 3000m start gun goes off.
