A runner must be the first CTC member in his/her respective age group to qualify, once qualified, all other races that the runner has competed in, both before and after qualifying, are entered into the statistics. A runner must run at least three races to be eligible. In the year that any runner ages up to another age group, the runner is eligible for the award in the age group in which he/she ran the most races. For deciding the Runner of the Year a minimum of three races are used for comparison, the longest distance races have priority for comparison, when possible the same races will be compared, then the same distances and then the longest distances would be the breaker.
