The 2008 Calhoun Cup Series will consist of six races and will span the entire Calhoun Runners season.
There will be four major winners of the Calhoun Cup. Winners will be male and female overall best cumulative score in walking and running. Other winners will also be awarded in age groups, most improved, etc.
To win one of the four Calhoun Cup awards a runner or walker will be required to participate in every event. If a runner is unable to participate in an event they will be given a "blank" score matching the last place finish in their group.
