About the ABB Team Challenge

Participants in the 2010 Chevron Houston Marathon, Aramco Houston Half Marathon and EP5K may register teams to compete against one another in the 2010 ABB Team Challenge.

There are four categories of teams:

  • All marathon participants
  • All half marathon participants
  • All 5K participants
  • Mixed category (at least one runner in all three events: marathon, half marathon and 5K)

Teams must have a minimum of three members and a maximum of six members.

***The deadline has expired to create or manage teams for the 2010 races.

Scoring

Points will be awarded based on individual team members' placement within their age groups. The formula for determining an individual's score is as follows:

(Place within age group) / (number of people in age group) x 1000 = individual score

The best (lowest) three individual scores from each team will then be added together to determine the team's total score. The mixed category teams will be scored by adding the lowest score from each of the three events: marathon, half marathon and 5K. For example, a team with individual scores of 90, 165, 140, 210, 170 and 120 would have a total team score of 90+120+140 = 350.

Prize Structure

ABB will make a $15,000 donation in honor of the overall ABB Team Challenge winner to the Children's Miracle Network at Texas Children's Hospital.

Awards will be presented to the first place teams in each category.
