Minnesota Running Data Center
Male Runners of the Year 1987

Points are based on times recorded on certified courses in Minnesota that meet standards based on the runner's age/sex group. Specifically, the numbers listed under each distance heading are in inverse order of the runner's rank in that age/sex group. Runners were scored 10-9-8-6-etc. in the more popular distances (5K, 8K, 10K, and Marathon) and 5-4-3-2-1 in the 15K, 20K, 25K, and half marathon. Runners can score at up to five different distances, so that the maximum number of points is 45 in the Open and Age Group divisions. When a runner turns in more than one performance in the top 10 or 5, he/she gets only his/her maximum number of points for that distance).

When a runner earns points in more than five different distances, only the best five were totaled. Uncounted scores are indicated by a *.

Here are the final results for 1987.
