The Platte River Fitness Series began with seven Lincoln County fitness events in
2008 and over 1200 athletes competed in at least one of 9
events in 2009. In 2010, the series consists of seven
events, and 2011 will offer some traditional races along
with several new ways to be healthy and fit. The events
provide consistent motivation, giving participants a goal
to work toward throughout the year, and a path to explore
new activities and their own potential. The 2010 series
includes North Platte’s first Half-marathon.
Individuals will receive points for their participation in
each event. Additional points are earned by placing in one’s
age-group in a particular event. Point totals will be
tabulated throughout the year, and winners determined
after the December event. Special Platte River Fitness
vests go to all participants who complete every event in
the series. Cash prizes will be awarded to the overall men’s
and women’s winners, special awards to the top three
point winners in each gender and age category.
Certificates will go to places 4-10, and an awards dinner
will be held in celebration of the top ten in each gender
and age group.
Points awarded and accumulated for all Series events are
as follows: 12 points for participating in the longest
distance in multiple distance events or in an event with
only one distance; 10 points for participating in the
shortest distance in multiple distance events, and 4
points for each leg of a triathlon; 10 points for winning
one’s age group (in each division in events that have
separate divisions), 8 points for second, 6 for third,
then 5-4-3-2-1 for 4th through 8th. In addition, bonus
points of 3, 2, 1 will be added to the overall top three
in each event by gender. If a participant is the overall
winner in the fitness division, he or she should enter the
competitive division in the next event having separate
divisions.
Age groups: 19 & under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59,
60-69, and 70 & over
