Series Rules & Eligibility

Who Can Participate

Everyone is welcome at every Bucks 5K Series race — runners, joggers, walkers, and families. You do not need to register for the full series to join any individual race.

Series Standings Eligibility

To be eligible for the Overall Series Awards, participants must:

• Register for the full series (all 7 races) rather than as individual entrants. [CONFIRM eligibility rule]
• Complete a minimum number of races in the season. [CONFIRM minimum race count]
• Be officially timed in each qualifying race (the 5K run, not the untimed walk).

Scoring

Series standings are calculated from your finishing results across qualifying races. See the Awards & Scoring page for the full breakdown of how points and age-group placements are determined. [CONFIRM scoring method]

Age Groups & Divisions

Awards are given for overall finishers and standard 5-year age groups. [CONFIRM age-group breakdown]

Registration & Refunds

Online registration for each race stays open until 15 minutes before the start time. There are no paper registration forms. Entry fees are non-refundable and non-transferable between participants. [CONFIRM refund policy]

Weather & Safety

Races are held rain or shine. In the event of severe weather, the race committee may delay or modify an event for participant safety; updates are posted to our social channels and emailed to registered participants.
