The Gran Prix point system needs to be revamped. Rick Walton and I were discussing this in one of our training runs. How about weighting the races according to their length. The points for a 5k would remain the same. A 10k would be doubled, 10 milers tripled and a half marathon would be quadrupled. For instance in the Masters division it would go something like this
Place Master Runner Race Length-> 5K 10K 10M 13.1M
1 Victor Birch 10pts. 20pts. 30pts. 40pts.
2 Timmy Jernigan 9 18 27 36
3 Ray Hickman 8 16 24 32
etc...etc......
10 Leif Irgens 1 2 3 4
What do you think about it?

P.S. Leon, you don't have to thank me. Really don't mention it!
