Your City.
Your Course.

Each RD1 route is selected by the crew that knows the city best. The route is part competition, part cultural map, and part invitation into the communities moving running forward.

Crews earn points through participation, local performance and official RD1 City Day turnout. Raw times from different city routes are never compared against one another.

How Season Zero Works

Three Ways
To Score.

Season Zero is designed to reward more than speed. The strongest division is one that competes, mobilizes its members and shows up together.

01 / PARTICIPATION

Complete
The Circuit.

Based on the percentage of registered crew runners who successfully complete the official city challenge.

80%+ completion 10 PTS
70–79% 8 PTS
60–69% 6 PTS
50–59% 4 PTS
02 / PERFORMANCE

Race
Your Field.

Performance is scored locally. Runners earn placement points inside the city challenge instead of comparing finish times across different courses.

1st place 10 PTS
2nd place 8 PTS
3rd place 6 PTS
4th place 5 PTS
5th place 4 PTS
03 / CITY DAY

Show Up
Together.

Each city receives an official RD1 challenge day. Group turnout rewards crews for creating the physical community moment behind the digital competition.

Highest turnout tier 10 PTS
Second tier 8 PTS
Third tier 6 PTS

PERFORMANCE NOTE: A runner's 5K time in Detroit is never directly compared with a runner's time in Chicago, Washington or Los Angeles. Each city creates its own ranked field. The resulting placement points are what contribute to the national crew table.

Season Zero Network

The City
Circuits.

Every route starts with the people already running the city. Host crews select the course, tell its story and bring their community into the division.

Why The Routes Matter
The crews built the culture. Now they map the sport.

RD1 circuits are not generic virtual race courses. Each route is selected by the local crew based on the places, streets and neighborhoods that define how their community experiences running.

Season Zero turns those routes into league infrastructure. A digital challenge today can become an official RD1 gathering, city event or championship course tomorrow.

DIGITAL CIRCUIT → CITY DAY → PHYSICAL EVENT → RD1 CHAMPIONSHIP
