Mile Championships Competition Rules

2. Team scoring: In all USATF-NE Road Grand Prix Races, runners may score in any age category for which they are eligible. Older runners may score in any younger team divisions as well as their own team age division. At the 1 Mile Road Championships, Open Teams will be scored based on the top 5 times achieved in either the open or masters races (combined race results). Net times will be used as at other championship events. In masters races, older runners can be scored in younger categories, such a 60 year old runner scoring on a 40+ team.
