§        Courses: Two sanctioned sprints (A and B) with interval starts, awards on a combined time basis. For each sprint, there are three courses: white/yellow, orange/brown/green, and red/blue. There will be a third non-sanctioned, spectator-friendly, not-to-be-missed, forked/looped sprint for the top 6 men and 6 women only to determine the Sprint Series Champions. You can run this third sprint after the champions run for a $10 donation to the team. Each sanctioned sprint (A and B) will be worth 100 points for the purposes of determining who goes onto the champion sprint.
