For the first time in its history, Savage Race will be offering a national points series and crown a season champion.
Savage Race currently has 15 different event weekends in 2022. The race series will be made up of total combined points for 4 races. 3 are mandatory, and athletes must choose at least one of an additional 2 optional venues.
If a competitor competes in all 5, the points will be used from the higher of the two optional races. All of these races will be for the 6 mile Savage Race distance. (No Blitz races are eligible.)
Here are the mandatory events:
- March 5 Dade City, Florida
- May 21 Kennedyville, Maryland
- June 18 Zanesville, Ohio
Athletes must also compete in at least one of these events:
- March 26 Dallas, Georgia
- May 7 Charleston, South Carolina
Scoring will be done on a 100 points system of 100-1
1st place is 100 points. 2nd place is 99 points. 3rd place is 98 points, and so on.
If there are more than 100 people in the Pro Wave, those at 101st place or below get zero points. If there are less than 100 people in the Pro Wave, no extra points are available. Meaning if there are only 48 men in the Pro Wave, the person in 48th place is still given 53 points. 47th is given 54 points, all the way back up to 100. A complete list is below.
Payouts for the individual races are as follows. These prizes are given out at all venues for the Saturday, 6-mile distance. (Non Series Races included)
