Questions from the Week

  1. What do I need to do to be scored for a Gold Cup race?

    A few simple things:
    • Be a CalStrider! You can register online, or at the Gold Cup table at the Gold Cup race.
    • Upgrade your membership to GOLD CUP prior to 11:59pm the night of the race. For example, for Runnin' With the Irish, please make sure you are upgraded prior to 11:59pm Saturday night. You can upgrade online, or at the Gold Cup table at the Gold Cup race.
    • Keep the same name. This may sound simple, but please try to register for races with the same name you registered for membership. (Formal vs nickname, married name vs maiden name, simple last name vs double barreled, etc.)
    • Check the scored results. Mistakes are made, it happens. We are all only human. The scored results will be published online within 24 hours of the race. A copy will also be attached to the weekend round up email that will be sent out each Monday following a weekend of races. Please check for any mistakes such as you being missing from the scored results. Please also check your age group to make sure that you are correctly placed. Remember, your Gold Cup age group is NOT dependent on your age the day of the race, but your age on July 1st. We want you to get the credit that you so rightly deserve!!! The sooner we know there is an issue, the easier it can be fixed. This is especially true for those with variations in your name as we get deeper in the season due to some weekends having multiple races. Race results are final 15 days after race day.
       
  2. How do I get my Gold Cup participant race discounts?

    The Gold Cup participant discount is available on races on our Gold Cup schedule to Gold Cup participants. To that end, if you registered for Gold Cup prior to February 19th or by paper registration, you will have received a separate email with the discount code. If you registered online for Gold Cup after February 19th, your discount code can be found in your Gold Cup confirmation email.
