2024 Race Series

How it works 2024:
From your results, points are awarded depending on age and gender against a national scale using a recognised formula.

Of the 11 races, your best 8 results will count towards your final score and the top three women and men receive prizes at the end of the year. The race series is not compulsory and is intended as a bit of fun so that you can gauge your results against your peers.

The Joker
New for 2024 is the Joker element. Each runner can play their Joker once and for that race they will score double points. Simply contact Graham Riddell before the race to play your Joker. Use it wisely!

Where possible there are links to the online application (press the plus icon).
