SERIES AWARDS & TITLES will all be announced and the prizes/trophies handed out at the relay race.
The points system takes some explaining! In the individual races, points are awarded in reverse order to medals, so 1st place takes 7 points, 2nd takes 6 points and so on down to 7th place who gets a single point. For veterans aged 50-59, 1st takes 3 points, 2nd takes 2 points and 3rd takes 1 point. For veterans aged 60-69, 1st takes 3 points, 2nd takes 2 points and for Veterans 70+, 1st place takes 3 points.
There are trophies for the series winners for each category this year as well as separate club trophies for men and women. The individual awards will be based on points from the three individual races (so the relay is not involved).
Now we come to the club championship! This is a new competition and there are both men's and women's trophies to be awarded to the clubs with the biggest points totals. In this case, unlike the individual titles, the relay does count - points from the first three races are added up and then the following points will be added on at the relay:
