Runner of the Season
HARRA conducts a fall and spring race series for all HARRA members. No club affiliation is required. Each series consists of races in which members score valuable points (Note: Relays count only for Club and Team competition).

Divisions and Awards
Awards are based on the top 8% of runners in each division (based on participation in last year's series). For example, if there were 100 participants in the last Fall series Men’s 50-59 division, then the top eight (8) men this Fall will receive a cash award (8% of 100 = 8).
Important: There is no rounding. So, if there are only 99 men in the 50-59 division, then only the top seven (7) men will receive an award (8% of 99 = 7.92).
Runners receive a percentage score for each race based on the World Masters Association (WMA)* standard times for that distance. A runner's final standing is determined by adding his or her top 3 races together. Prize money is determined on an annual basis by the HARRA Board of Directors.
