A fell running series with a choice of 26 races (long and short distances).

You will need to compete in a minimum of 4 of the races listed below however, one of your events must be long i.e. 9 or more miles (or 14.5 + Km)- (this rule doesn't apply to lady runners-i.e. ladies don't need to do any long events to qualify) - 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 basic points will not be age or sex related, the points will be allocated purely on your finishing position, however, bonus points are available see below..

Bonus Points

Participation in The Inter-club cross country races will play a part, scoring 3 bonus points for one race, 7 for two races and 11 for three races.

Bonus points are also available for veterans (Age Category Bonus) 1 point for V40, 2 points for V50, 3 points for V60 and 4 points for V70 for each race, no more than 40 points can be scored per race. 

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 10/03/2024.

We no longer have separate vet prizes it is now simplified to male and female 1-2-3.

Races

Please check the races are still going ahead at the published date and time prior to travelling- most of the races have website links from our own site Via this link or also check for race updates on the FRA site: https://www.fellrunner.org.uk/ . Some of the Wildhogs races require a pre-entry so ensure you enter in plenty of time to avoid disappointment.
