Series

Back of the Pack (BOTP)

What is the Back of the Pack (BOTP)? It is not a cut off time, it is actually a series we have geared towards people who average higher than the BOTP listed above. This allows runners of similar pace to compete with each other and get series points.

BOTP Pace: 11:00 min/mile
