The Olympic Club Challenge
This is where it gets serious, folks. The Olympic Club has picked a racefight with local running clubs. Why? Why not. In the second-annual Olympic Club Challenge, Bay Area running clubs will compete against each other in The Giant Race Half Marathon, with the fastest club winning a Field Visit before a Giants baseball game and an engraved Louisville Slugger baseball bat.
The Format:
- At least five runners are required register for the Half Marathon to represent each club.
- The times of the five fastest runners for each club will be added to form an aggregate team finish time.
- Teams may be composed of any combination of male and female runners.
- For each woman finishing in a club’s top five, that team receives a ten minute deduction from their aggregate finish time.
- The team with the fastest aggregate time (once any deductions for top female finishes have been applied) wins the Olympic Club Challenge.
The Olympic Club Challenge Champion will receive:
- A pre-game Field Visit and tickets to a Giants game for the five fastest finishers of the winning club team, hosted by the Olympic Club team.
- An engraved Louisville Slugger baseball bat noting the accomplishment of the winning team.
Registration Instructions:
Register for the half marathon as normal, but make sure to include your club name in the Olympic Club Challenge section of the registration process. In addition, send us a quick email to skeyston@sfgiants.com (Sarah Keyston), just so we know to look out for your team.
