Qatar Sports For All Federation, in partnership with Z Adventures, proudly presents the QRS Fall Edition 2024. This exciting four-race series takes place at the iconic venues of four FIFA World Cup stadiums, with race distances ranging from 800 meters to 10 kilometers. Each race will be held on precisely measured short courses, with participation limited to 300 runners per event.
In addition, the Junior races will feature a school competition, where the top two schools or clubs in both the male and female categories will be awarded trophies. Equal points will be given to the top 5 finishers in all junior categories.
START TIMES
The first race on Friday 18 October will be an afternoon race starting at 3:00 PM. All other races will be in the morning.
EVENT DATES
WHAT'S INCLUDED
SCHOOL / CLUB COMPETITION (JUNIORS)
The Junior races will have a school competition where the Top 2 Schools / Clubs in the male & female categories will receive trophies.
Equal points will be awarded to Top 5 in all junior categories. The points system is as follows.
Please enter your school / club name when registering online.
INDIVIDUAL SERIES POINTS SYSTEM
The four-race series will feature a points system that contributes to the overall series awards. Points are assigned based on an athlete’s finish position within their category.
Given that our adult races offer various distances (10K, 5K, and 3K), points will be equally distributed across each distance. The category winner will earn 50 points, with 2nd place receiving 49 points, 3rd place earning 48 points, and so on. The minimum points awarded for completing a race is 20. In the event of a tie, the athlete who has covered the greater overall distance during the series will be ranked higher. If athletes are tied in both points and distance, the one with the lowest cumulative race time will take the higher position. Should athletes remain tied after considering points, distance, and time, they will be placed jointly in the standings.
For example, if Athlete A wins all four 10K races, earning 200 points, and Athlete B wins all four 5K races, also earning 200 points, Athlete A will rank higher than Athlete B in the overall standings due to the longer distance covered.
SERIES AWARDS:
Male and female series winners will receive prizes which will be presented after the end-of-season race.
