Welcome to FLEET FEET Racing Team

Our Mission

The mission of the FLEET FEET Racing Team is to make racing even more fun for team members.  We promote camaraderie between members when they’re not racing and friendly competition when they are.

Team Eligibility

Runners and multisport athletes of all abilities are welcome on the team.  There is no membership fee.  The only membership requirements are that you cross your finish lines in a top with a visible FLEET FEET logo, submit your race results via the FLEET FEET Racing Team website and live in the greater St. Louis area.  After submitting your first race result, you will be added to the team’s email list and will begin receiving information about upcoming team events. 

Team-Wide Head-to-Head Racing

The heart of the FLEET FEET Racing Team is our race scoring system, which allows every team member to fairly compete against every other team member, regardless of age or gender.  Running races are scored using tables created by the World Association of Veteran Athletes (WAVA).  Multisport races are scored by calculating how close each athlete finished to the top performer in their age/gender group. 

Race results must be submitted via the team website within 7 days of the race date.  The team standings are updated weekly and posted on the team website.  Running standings are based on each racer’s better performances in multiple distance categories.  The number of races scored varies by each category.  Multisport standings are based on each racer’s best four races. 

After each year comes to a close, the following awards will be distributed at the January party.  To be eligible for an annual award, a team member must have submitted at least six running races or at least four FLEET FEET-timed multisport races.

•  Runner of the Year (1^st-3^rd; Male & Female; most total points)

• Multisport Athlete of the Year (1^st-3^rd; Male & Female; most points in best four races)

• Race Rat (Runner & Multisport Athlete; most races submitted)

• Rookie of the Year (Runner & Multisport Athlete; highest rookie finisher in the overall standings)

• Distance Specialist (1^st & 2^nd; 5K/4M, 8K/5M, 10K, 15K/10M, 13.1M and 26.2M; Male & Female; most points per distance)

Team Camaraderie

A team needs to look like a team!  Team members who submit at least six running races in one year will receive a team singlet or hat the following year.  Team members who submit at least four FLEET FEET-timed multisport races in a one year will receive a free team multisport suit, singlet, or hat the following year.  Team members who do not earn a free uniform item may purchase items at FLEET FEET Sports.

A team also needs to party like a team!  In 2010, the FLEET FEET party bus will be at numerous races to help you get pumped up before the race and celebrate after the race.  FLEET FEET will provide the food and drink.  Team members will provide the energy!  Tailgates will be posted on FLEET FEET’s online race calendar.

The FLEET FEET Racing Team will be highlighted in the monthly FLEET FEET Flyer and team members can join the FLEET FEET Racing Team Facebook group.  The Facebook page will be updated to inform members of upcoming events, outstanding performances and more!

Remember, it’s always more fun being part of a team!
