Finish all 3 of the RTS races to be eligible. Each finisher earns a cX Score™️: the runner’s speed multiplied by the cX Rating™️ for each race. Race placement isn’t a factor. Awards will be announced at the final race of the series: The Texas Switchback. Your race distances do not have to match; the cX Rating automatically accounts for course difficulty with a slight bonus for longer races. For example, you could choose a progression: 10k, 20k, marathon. Read more
