Important Note: The Pick Six is on hiatus until next year. Look for updates this fall.
Every year the Mojo Running Club participates in a Pick 6 competition. Participants sign up in January and run six or more of the selected races. At the end of the year, everyone who ran at least six races gets a t-shirt and the runner in each age group who has the best six cumulative finishes gets a medal! For more information, see the official Pick Six Rules below. This event is open to all runners, not just Mojo members.
You can sign up at any Mojo Saturday Run or Tuesday Night Run.
Current Standings
The Pick Six committee compiles the results of each race and scores participants according to their finish places relative to the other participants in the same division. Your total score is the sum of your highest six race scores. See current standings here.
When you register for a race, make sure you pick the correct distance. For most races, only one distance is part of the Pick Six.

2024 Pick Six Rules
Details:
A year-long event to promote participation in local races, have fun as running clubs, expand the running groups, and have some friendly competition.
There will be at least one race per month February through November, and then the awards at year-end. You can run as many races as you want but will be scored only in your best six races. The races are a combination of distances 5K – Marathon, there are enough (16 races) to choose your preference of race distance.
The cost to participate is TBD. You can register at Saturday morning running group with Mojo Running Club. Your scoring starts once you pay.
Scoring:
Age groups for men and women will be determined after initial signups.
Your age on 1/1/2024 is the set age group you compete in all year.
Scoring for series runners in a given age group, just counting their finish placement competing against other series participants.
10 points - 1st, 9 points – 2nd, … minimum of 5 points for running the race.
Participants who complete the TQL Beer Series in 2024 (Bockfest 5K, Fifty West Mile, and Hudepohl 14K) will receive a bonus point toward their total score. However, no participant shall have a total score higher than 60 points.
Standings are posted on Facebook after each race.
Any ties for the end of the series age group scoring will be decided by the total number of races participated in the series. If there is still a tie, the winner is based on head to head competition. If there is still a tie, both runners are awarded.
