Runner Triathlete News accepts event results in PC format (no Mac files, please -- we cannot convert) in the following file types:

1. MS Excel (or comma-separated or tab-delimited)
2. ASCII text file (or "non-table" html file)
3. MS Word (this is our least favorite way to get results)

Results should be sorted into the age groups, beginning with the youngest age group and proceeding to the oldest. Any individual, masters, grandmasters, and/or senior winners should be listed as such, as well as any other special category winners (i.e. clydesdale/filly, wheelchair, etc.).

Results can be e-mailed to us at [email protected].

We also strongly encourage you to also provide a brief (3-5 paragraph) summary of the race and several photos (digital images are fine) from the event. We will publish all of this info -- generating additional exposure for your event and its sponsors. We would like to receive the results by Sunday evening for prompt posting.

In addition to posting to our web sites and printing the results in our magazines, your event will also be promoted through our weekly eNewsletter -- and we will also feature some events in our weekly radio and web audio shows!

VERY IMPORTANT SPECIAL NOTICES:
NOTE TO ALL TEXAS ROAD RACES: Both Runner Triathlete News and Inside Texas Running are patrons of TexStats, the official record-keeper for Texas State Road Racing Records. We will submit your road race results to the state record-keeper who will determine if any age-group or single-age marks were set during your event. It is critical that we receive complete results for all Texas road races, and those results should indicate each finishers' age on race day (for single-age state records). There are a number of new records established nearly every weekend, both in large and small events -- so do not assume that your event does not contain any records, please submit complete results including the participants' ages.

NOTE TO ALL USAT/SMW MULTI-SPORT EVENTS: Runner Triathlete News will forward your results to the person in charge of the USAT/SMW regional triathlon and duathlon rankings. To have your results included in these rankings, you must supply the USAT # for each finisher. Results without USAT #s will not be ranked -- this will draw a great amount of ire towards your event from the finishers.

NOTE TO ALL HOUSTON-AREA EVENTS: we also coordinate the race results for the Houston Chronicle newspaper. We will supply your results to the Chronicle in the proper format -- but we must receive the results no later than 7:00 p.m. on Sunday evening to get the results formatted and submitted to them by their deadline.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call me at (800) 441-9837 (M-F, 8-5 central time) or e-mail me at [email protected]. Have a great event!
