In response to the Covid-19 pandemic which has seen many races cancelled and following the success of our recent virtual events, Chris Walker has proposed that we have a 'virtual trail running championship' over the summer months.

​

Based on 6 local walking routes, each 'race' should be completed in the allotted 2 week window (4 weeks for race 6) with proof of time & route taken (in the form of Strava link or something similar) to be submitted to Anne Middleton by end of play on the last date of each race. To reduce unnecessary travelling, the route can be started at any point on the course as long as the start and finish are the same points. If you are unsure of the route, groups of up to 6 can run together, subject to social distancing. 

​

Scoring for the virtual championship will be based on WAVA % scores which take account of age, sex and distance as well as your race time. The WAVA scores will be added up over the 6 races. More information on WAVA can be found here.  

​

In addition to the overall men’s and ladies championships trophies, there are also vets (over 40) and supervets (over 50) categories for both men and women.

​

September rule change

Participants may submit a time for ONE race they missed or a new time for a race they previously completed. All race evidence must be submitted by 7pm on Sat 10th October.
