Given the various distances available, the Indiana Trail Racing Series will utilize a points-based scoring system. Participants will be awarded certain points based on distance and finishing place. The longer you run, the more points you get for distance. The faster you compete, the more points you get for finishing place. You can even miss out on an event and still be in the series.
In addition, Indiana Trail Racing Series Participants can score bonus points by volunteering time at a race, through trail building and maintenance, by being part of a race crew, or through pacing. Please check out our Volunteer Page for opportunities.
