Scoring for the Series is based on the percentage of the course you could have covered in the time it took the average person to finish. This is calculated as: (A/R) * 100 - where R is the runner’s time in seconds and A is the mean (average) time of all finishers.

Your series score is the sum of your best 4 scores in the series.
