Rules and Logistics
For PAUSATF scoring, each team member runs only one 4.464 mile leg and can only score for one team. For non-PAUSATF scoring teams, women may compete in any of the men's divisions, and runners can compete on more than one team or multiple legs on the same team. However, these teams will be ineligible for PAUSATF Grand Prix Awards. Team members within the same division may be changed after registration, but division changes must be made at registration.
