The weather is not the only thing that is heating up. We have hit the half way mark in the 2023 Crown Endurance series, and the real race is just starting. We also have a new revamped Crown Endurance Series App which has been streamlined with a more friendly user interface. I will review each button so you can familiarize yourself
I need to start this month’s
update with a correction and an apology.
In last month’s final tallies, the Super Mom Atlanta races were inadvertently
added two times, so everyone was given double points for that race. The error has been corrected, and the points
have been adjusted so the new totals for this month reflect the updates. Please check the My Events section of the CES
app to review the races you have earned stars in, and if you see any discrepancies,
please e-mail be directly at durunruner@yahoo.com
so I can address any concerns directly with you. You can find your races if you click your
name from the Age Groups section.
As a review, You will need to
create a Crown Endurance Series account in order to view the app. You can do so by going to the following URL
and entering a provided pin code. Upcoming Events
(glideapp.io)
Each race distance has a different
point value, so if you run a 10K and win your age group, each point is worth
1.25 stars, so if you win your age group in a 10K race, you would receive so
your star total would be 31.25 stars and so on down the line. You can see the value of each race distance
here. Just
click on the race distance and see the star value. Distances (glideapp.io).
The
toolbar at the bottom of the App can be used to navigate the App and see where
you are now and plan where you are going in your “Star search.” I will go through each icon with an
explanation of what each one does.
Crown Endurance navigation toolbar
The first icon, Home, allows easy navigation to all the sections I will be explaining in a moment. Think of it as the launch pad of the app. From the home page, you can easily navigate to the various sections of the app.
If
you want to see a map view, just click on the Map icon in the bottom right
corner of the page, and the view will change.
The Participants icon provides an alphabetical list of
everyone who has earned points in the series.
Note that everyone person on the list also qualifies for a free
Thanksgiving race (There are three to choose from), and you also qualify for the Five Star Championship race, which will take place on
Sunday, January 7th, 2024.
You can look at the entire list, or you can search by your name. The icons show both Turkey Trot and Championship race qualifiers.
Current standing are found below and include ALL races in
the series through June 24, Made in the USA.
If you find any issues, please reach out to me at durunruner@yahoo.com.
A special shoutout to the one and only Norman Wenger, who is
the first participant to reach the 500 point plateau. Congratulations Norman for reaching this
milestone less than half way through the year.
