The Wildhogs Fell Running Championship for 2011
Following on
from last years successful series, the Wildhogs Grand Prix events for 2011
have now been released. This is a fell running series of 18 races (6 long and
12 short). So if you feel like giving your fell shoes a proper workout come
along and let the battle begin.
To take part in
the Championship you will compete in any of the races listed below however, one
of your events must be long- i.e. 10+ miles with a maximum of 8 races counting
towards your final Championship score. Any Handsworth
member, (first or second claim) can take part.
Scoring
The first Handsworth runner
in each race will score 40 points, the second 39 and so on. The allocation of
points will not be age or sex related, the points will
be allocated purely on your finishing position. The Inter-club cross country races will also play
a part, scoring 3 points for one race, 7 points for two races and 11 for three
races.
Club colours preferred but
not compulsory, let series organizer or a committee member aware at beginning
or end of race to ensure you get counted.
Ties
In the event of any runners scoring the same number of
points, the runner who has scored better head to head with his or her rival
will be the winner. If this fails to separate the runners then the runner who
has a beard will be the winner. If neither or both runners have a beard it will
be called a draw.
Prizes
Your age group will be determined by your age on the
01/01/2011.
Prizes awarded for Senior Male, Vet Male and Female.
