- Age Groups: Are determined by a runner’s age either on the day of the race or at the start of the race series, depending on the event format.
  If a runner changes age groups during the course of a series, they will continue to compete and score in the age group in which they started the series. However, if the runner completes at least four scoring races after moving into their new age group, they may instead be ranked in that new age group for the series.
- Scoring: This will be based on a runners 4 best scores out of the 6 rounds i.e. runners must do at least 4 events to be eligible to count for the series overall. AGE GROUP FOR SERIES BASED ON AGE AT BEGINNING OF SERIES.
- Series Standings & Prize Giving: Final scoring will be based on best 4 results out of 6 - i.e you must complete 4 races to be eligible - If you compete all 6 races we will use your fastest 4 times for the series standings. We will award prizes to top 3 in each cat, where applicable - Top 3 in each age category will be awarded a medal and coloured jersey (colour dependent of finishing position!). We will send an email ASAP after final race to top 3 in each cat - this will contain a link to confirm jersey size. There will be a strict 1 week deadline for submission, we will then get order off to printers and posted out, this may take a few weeks to get turned around, so please bear with us. Keep an eye out for the email (and please check junk mail just in case!). Medals - we will send ALL medals out with the jerseys
  The age group for the series will be determined by your age on the date of the first scoring race. For example, if you move to a higher age group during the series, you will still be classified in the younger age group for scoring. However, if you move up and can score enough races to complete the series in the older age group, that’s fine. But if you have any results in the lower age group, you will be classified in that group.
  We will produce a final overall set of male and female standing (inc: all age cats) and award prizes to top 3 in each
- Series Medals: We will award a series medal to everyone who completes the series by completing 4 or more races. Please note if you finish in the top 3 in your cat you will receive a 1st, 2nd or 3rd medal. If you finish outside of the top 3 in your age cat we will award a series medal. Please note we will be unable to award these on the night as we'll need to to calculate final standings. We will endeavour to post medal out ASAP after the final races.
