In this Update:  Southwestway Park, August 17 | Series Standings | Fall Is ULTRA time

Southwestway Park, August 17

It's the final showdown, in Indy at Southwestway Park! Tackle Mann Hill (Indy's tallest hill), on both the 5k and 15k lap. After the race, we'll award our series champion singlets to the overall top 6 men and 4 women in each distance.

First-time participants are as welcome as the series contenders - this race is a moderate difficulty course and good for spectators. The annual DINO apparel blowout sale is offered at this race - get past event t-shirts, sweatshirts, and more, dirt cheap!

Online registration closes next Thursday morning (8/15), with a packet pick-up at Runner's Forum Carmel from 4-pm Thursday. Race morning entry and packet pickup is also available from 7:30 to 9 am. Start time is 9 am (15k) and 9:10 (5k). A free DINO Kids Run is at 10:30 and race day awards follow shortly after. Series awards go out once race day awards are over.

Series Standings

Are you a contender? Check your Series Points for overall and age group standings! (Hint: click the "Age" header on our point charts to sort by age group. You can also type your last name in the search bar if you have trouble finding yourself.)

For the first time in series history, all four overall leaders have a lock on the first place singlets: David Riggleman & Melissa Jones in the 5k; Andrew Parmerlee and Claire Betz in the 15k. The remaining singlet winners and numerous age group winners will come down to the final race, however.

Each runner's best four scores count. Lower scores are dropped from the calculation. 810 points is the maximum possible (4 overall wins plus 10 bonus points). Bonus points were earned with one or more of the three bonus runs, or volunteer trail work.
