SHR Senior Championship
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
|
|
Scottish Hill Runners have organised a championship since 1983. The competition provides a test of all round hill running ability, requiring athletes to complete at least one race in each category: short, medium and long.
The championship is based on your best 4 results from 6 races - this format staying the same as in recent years.
One very important difference for 2010 is that Run 4 It is sponsoring the championship and this will mean an improved quality of individual and team prize mementos in all male and female categories. Further support for race organisers is also available if required. More details of this sponsorship package were posted in this news item.

Scoring: Points are awarded to the first 40 in each category, except for Over 60s and teams where points are awarded to first 20. First in each category at any race receives 1 extra
point, i.e. 41 points for first, 39 points for second, etc, or 21 for first, 19 for second etc. No
requirement to gain a point to receive a memento, finishing the race is what matters. |
