The Super Series comprises of a number of races from 10k upwards where members can choose from a list published at the beginning of each year.
This list includes the major running events in Sydney as well as other states. Each race is assigned a difficulty bonus as not all races “created equal” and is listed in the Super Series spreadsheet.
Members have the option to nominate a “Wild Cheetah” race for inclusion. This can be your best standard Half and/or Full Marathon result, for a race not listed in the Super Series spreadsheet link.
Email your ‘wild Cheetah” result by mid-November with your name, event, finish time and a link to the official result (with the Subject: Wild Cheetah Half / Marathon) to superseries@sydneystriders.org.au.
Points are awarded based on distance and difficulty. Ranging from 5 for a marathon, 3 points for a half, 1 for between 10 and 21km, and 0 for 10km. There is also a 1-point adjustment for trail runs.
Events with larger Striders participation are more heavily weighted compared to events with smaller Striders participation.
Remember only your best 8 results count, and you need to volunteer during the year to be eligible for a prize.
You can participate in as many races as you like. Your best 8 results will be counted.
The basic points awarded takes into consideration the number of Striders participating in the race.
For example: Races with up to 19 Striders participating in a category, will be allocated points as follows:
1st place: 25 points / 2nd Place 21 pts / 3rd place 18 pts / 4th place 16 pts / 5th place 15 pts / 14 pts etc… / 19th place: 1 pt.
Races with 24+ Striders participating in a category are allocated points on an incrementally increasing scale based on the total number of striders in that category.
Assuming 30 Striders in category:
1st Place: 36 points / 2nd place 32 pts / 3rd place 29 pts / 4th place 27 pts / 5th place 26 pts / 25 pts etc…. / 30th place: 1 pt.
To qualify for a Super Series Award, you must have officially volunteered (and have it recorded) for the club during that year.
The Equaliser and 10km handicapped races are for financial members only, provided free of charge.
Our volunteer results collators do a great job of matching your name to the published results. However, you know your results best and it is ultimately your responsibility to check and advise they have been captured correctly. If not, please email corrections to superseries@sydneystriders@org,au
