This event recognises the best and most consistent all-round runner (man & lady) in the club. It is based on 10 mixed races (road, cross country, fell), requiring a minimum of 6 races to count. There are two Fell races and two Cross country races in this seasons list of races. In order to qualify for the series you must run any two of these four races.
To help offset the effects of advancing years, results are age-related, which means that for anyone over 34 yrs, their finishing time in progressively reduced with age, according to a specific formula corresponding to race time and distance. However, to give the youngsters a chance, we now average the age related time with the actual time (thereby reducing the effect of the handicap).
