The Rock/Creek StumpJump 50k and 11 Mile Race, part of the Salomon Rock/Creek Trail Series, marks the first race in the Points Race. Each year, runners who participate in at least three races in the trail series are automatically entered into the Points Race. Each person in the Race is given points based on their times and the winning time. The overall scoring is based on the individual runner's four best performances in the series.
As the StumpJump marks the beginning of the next year's point race, it also is the time when last year's winners are awarded.
There are six age categories and a male and female runner can win in each category. In addition to the 6 age categories, we also give the Forrest Gump Award to the runners who have completed the most races under the respective time limits. We would like to congratulate the winners of the the 2013/2014 Salomon Rock/Creek Trail Series Points Race:
