Point System

Point System: Every Mile Matters

The Metro Mile Mafia's Point System is designed to reward every effort, mile, and milestone achieved by members. It's more than just earning rewards; it's about celebrating dedication, consistency, and progress. The System is used by both Associate and Capo Runners, but in order to qualify for prizes and awards, you must be a Capo Runner.

How It Works

Points are earned through various activities:

1. Mob Runs: Weekly group runs with points based on distance.

2. Solo Runs: Independent runs logged through Strava, earning credit for miles completed.

3. Mob Races: Official races with points based on distance and bonus points for PRs or placements.

4. Challenges and Goals: Achieve quarterly and yearly goals for extra points.

5. Holiday Bonuses: Participate in holiday-themed events for additional rewards.

• Motivation: The system encourages members to stay active and consistent.
