FORMAT:
1. In the interest of fairness, this event will see each runner start the race on their allocated starting time
2. The start times for the first race (April 2019) will be based on running times captured from Les 5Mile 2018 and calculated as an average for your actual starting time.
3. The start times should theoretically change for every race, depending on your finish times.
4. On the return to the park all runners will be routed at the bottom gate around the rugby and cricket fields to make up the required distance of the race.
5. Marshall's will hopefully be placed at bottom of Chinese hill, carters corner, Llwynypia hospital crossing and bottom gate of park. *Although this will depend on volunteering numbers.
Points:
1. There will be 3 points awarded for 1st place with 20 second handicap for next race, 2 points for 2nd place with 15 second handicap for next race and 1 points for 3rd place with a 10 second handicap for next race.
2.There will be 5 points awarded for taking part, 5 points for a PB, 10 bonus points for doing all 6 races. 5 points for marshaling / timing (but members could only volunteer do this once) 2 points deducted for missing vest/number. In the event of a tie, the most improved over the 6 races would be declared the winner.
RULES:
1. Club vests/t-shirts and number must be worn.
2. There will be no alternative club run on the evenings of this event.
