    Wave Starts - Following on from last year we will continue with 2 wave starts, with the aim of reducing congestion at the start, Wave 1 will be for runners under 19mins and Wave 2, which will start 1minute later will be for runners over 19mins.

    Chip Timing -  We are planning to use chip timing for the 2025 series, therefore it will be very important that runners keep their number for the series, as we will have to make a charge for issuing new numbers to cover the timing chip cost.

      The age group for the series will be determined by your age on the date of the first scoring race. For example, if you move to a higher age group during the series, you will still be classified in the younger age group for scoring. However, if you move up and can score enough races to complete the series in the older age group, that’s fine. But if you have any results in the lower age group, you will be classified in that group.

      We will produce a final overall set of male and female standing (inc: all age cats) and award prizes to top 3 in each

    • Series Medals: We will award a series medal to everyone who completes the series by completing 4 or more races. Please note if you finish in the top 3 in your cat you will receive a 1st, 2nd or 3rd medal. If you finish outside of the top 3 in your age cat we will award a series medal. Please note we will be unable to award these on the night as we'll need to to calculate final standings. We will endeavour to post medal out ASAP after the final races.
