French term or phrase: Challenge du nombre

This expression is in a text about a race (running). It says that the team came "en tête du challenge du nombre". I understand that this is a race where the points are awarded for the number of participants a team enters into a race, as well as for the time in which they finish, but I cannot find the term in English. Can anyone help me please?
