Team Format

In addition to awarding the top three finishers in each age group, this race will also reward the top placing team! Each team must have at least five runners, but there is no upwards limit to how many can run  under the team name. Teams will be scored in cross country format (see more details here). The placement of the top five runners on each team will be added together to form an overall team score, and the team with the lowest team score will be determined the winner and awarded the Quinsippi Island Trophy.
