Madison Area Running Series is a series of run/walk events in Madison, WI and its surrounding areas

Progress Tracking. Progress for MARS members is tracked on this page where points for each competitor in each event in the series is shown. After each race, points and point totals are automically tabulated in each of the two sections below.
The Basics of the Rankings. Your point totals are affected only by your placement against the other MARS members in your age group. The number of points for a given race starts at a maximum of 10 points and then declines. In some cases it is possible to receive more than 10 points when there are multiple races that occur at different times on a given day and for those events that are advertised by MARS as double point events or other specials. People who are not signed up for MARS do not affect the rankings. See the Rules Page for more details.
Rankings and Awards. Regardless of the number of people in a given age group (even if there are less than six people in that age group), awards will be granted to the top three six (Updated on [07/20/2008]) people in a given age group. Running at least three races allows you to meet the minimum requirements for awards. This 2008 year, the best 12 races will count against your competitors. As a result of anticipated increasing numbers in the series this year, MARS is seeking out options (starting with this 2008 year) to increase the number of awards offered per age group (Update [07/20/2008]--this has incresed from three to six!). The idea being, as the number of members increases, the number of awards would at least increase by the same percentage. For the different type of award offerings in the past, see the Awards Page for information.
Types of Rankings. Find your progress and your competitors progress by looking at the different types of rankings: 1) Selectable Rankings (NEW) which provides a specific age group and gender selection, and 2) Classic Rankings which contains all age groups and divisions points with graphical plot links.
MARS Members who were registered for 2007 and have not signed up for 2008, will be dropped after July 1st 2008!
A new point scoring method, outlined in the rules, has been implemented as of 05/01/2008 to recognize more participants this year! Walkers are not accounted for in the rankings for the Crazylegs Classic and should contact us.
