In
this series cumulative points will be totalled at
the end. The top 3 finishers overall and top 3 in
each age division (19 & under, 20 - 29, 30 - 39,
40 - 49, 50 - 59, 60 - 69 and 70 and over) will be
awarded special series' awards. Points are awarded
based on a relative merit for a performance based
on the fastest runner. The winner receives 1000 points
and lesser points are awarded to each finisher based
on time. Points are computed by dividing a runners'
time into the time of the first place finisher then
multiplying by 1000. Weekly results will be posted
immediately after each race at Hookslide Kelly's and
posted on Cool Running the next morning. An awards
ceremony will be held at 8:00 PM each week at Hookslide
Kelly's, 19 Merrimack Street, Lowell, MA.

 The
Lowell environment offers something for every foot's
taste. Give in to the lure of the City's ethnic charm
and the rich history by joining us for a run from Hookslide
Kelly's , located in the heart of the Lowell National
Historical Park. Run by the refurbished brick mill buildings
where the mill girls once worked, lived, ate well, led
chaste lives, and probably logged few miles. The road
started here for Jack Kerouac. This is where Whistler
painted his poor mom in a chair after she complained
about his odorous running shoes. Here is where Ed McMahon
proved that anyone could acheive wealth and fame in
America and where the guys were first awe struck by
those Bette Davis eyes. |
