Munster Rotary Run-a-Round 5K/10K
It was great seeing so many of you this weekend...! With that in mind, here are a few reminders:
- Scoring of the race has been completed, and you can find the SCORED RESULTS HERE. Please review the results for any issues, and report any discrepancies to the Statistician.
- We have also updated the CURRENT STANDINGS HERE. Again, please review and report any discrepancies to the Statistician.
- For those of you who are new, you may not be aware that one of the items at the Gold Cup table at each race is a race evaluation. All the feedback we receive on these evaluations goes to the race directors, as well as being integral to the construction of our schedule in future seasons. If you didn't get a chance to fill it out on Saturday, you can FILL OUT THE EVAL HERE.
- Finally, we want your photos! In the spirit of the community, we want to put together an online album for each race this season! Any photos you wish to contribute can be emailed to the Archivist.

Questions from the Week
- I am a Gold Cup member, but I haven't been scored... What do I do?
First, please check that you have purchased the Gold Cup upgrade. You can confirm this HERE. However, if you have purchased the upgrade, but still have issues, please contact the Statistician who will investigate. (She is human and can make mistakes).
- Why am I being scored in the (...) age group? Shouldn't I be in the (...) age group?
You age group for the entire Gold Cup season is based on your age on July 1, 2022.
- I see one of the award categories is "age graded". What is that?
You can read about age grading at https://usatfmasters.org/age-grading/ . If you have any other questions, please feel free to talk to our Statistician (Emily-Rose) at any Gold Cup race this season.
- What discounts am I eligible for?
This depends on if you are a basic member, or if you have purchased the Gold Cup upgrade. Gold Cup members receive discounts on every race on our Gold Cup schedule. If you haven't purchased this upgrade, you can still receive discounts on purchases at Running Warehouse (Code: CALREGSNID) and ROADiD (see above). Sponsored races are NOT required to give discounts to our members, however, if available, all members are eligible for this discount.
