2024 Overall Championship
​
The 2024 championship features a mixture of 'local' road, fell & trail races over different distances.
The competition features 20 events;12 ‘short’, 5 ‘medium’ and 3 ‘long’ with best scores from up to 6 races to count. There is no minimum number of races and no requirement to do races from each distance category.
This year we are again using a performance-based scoring system dependent on your finishing time relative to the first man & lady. Basically, the closer your time is to the winner’s time the more points you get. Scores for 'medium' & 'long' races will be multiplied by a factor of 1.1 and 1.2 respectively, as an inducement to take part in longer distances.
​​
A more detailed explanation of the scoring can be found here
​
In addition to the overall men’s and ladies championship winners, there will also be vets (over 40) and supervets (over 50) categories for both men and women.
