MOST TWEETS
Each time a unique tweet promoting the event is posted that uses the iRun4Good hashtag (#iRun4Good) AND the school’s hashtag, the school will get credit.
For purposes of this competition, we will use the registration codes with a hashtag on the front for the school hashtags. As such, here are the school hashtags:
| School | Hashtags | |
|---|---|---|
| American Leadership Academy | #ALA | |
| Arizona Christian Homeschoolers | #ACHS | |
| Campo Verde High School | #CVHS | |
| Desert Hills High School | #DHHS | |
| Gilbert High School | #GHS | |

If your school has another hashtag you want used, please email Victor Petersen at [email protected] and he will add it to this list.
MOST RACE DAY SPIRIT
On the day of the race, the main stage will be the gathering place for participants to learn more about how they can combat substance abuse. Sometime between 9 and 10 AM, each school will be called on in turn to make as much noise as possible as a show of spirit. The judges will rank the responses on a scale from 1 to 10 which will determine the points awarded to each school on this measure.
SCORING
On each measure, the highest raw score will determine the amount needed for the full points possible. Each school will be awarded the same percentage of points possible as their raw score percentage of the high score.
For example, if the most race registrations for any school is 300 and a school has 150 registrations, they will receive 25 points on the measure of Most Registrations (150/300 = 50%, 50% x 50 = 25).
The school that receives the highest total points, will win the competition.
THE PENNANT
The school that wins, will take the Red Pennant home to show off in their gym!
