*Series awards will be presented at the Dirty Spokes Duathlon - Allatoona Creek Park on May 18th; winners must be present as awards will not be mailed.

Here´s the skinny… we are using a "point system" to reward and separate the top finishers from the pack – the point system is similar to a NASCAR points system or possibly other "points series races" around the way in mountain biking or other similar athletic events. The Georgia Off-Road Duathlon points series will be tracked ⁄ recorded by our staff throughout the 2012 calendar - starting with the Dirty Spokes Duathlon at Fort Yargo State Park and ending with the Series Finale at the Dirty Spokes Duathlon At Allatoona Creek Park. In order to qualify for the Championship you ⁄ your team must enter 2 of the 3 events (Series Points may ONLY be earned in the Run, Bike, Run Format). You may race as a solo rider or as a team (in order to quality for Championship Points Series you must race in 2 of 3 of the races in the SAME discipline ⁄ category ⁄ teams must consist of the same people no alternates). If there is a tie at the end of the series in any category we will determine winner by fastest overall time (Dirty Spokes Duathlon Allatoona Creek Park course) - if there is still a tie we will determine winner by rock, paper, scissors!
