We will have a league and will be based on best 4 out of the 5 events, in the event of a tie we’ll use scores from 5 events.
Scoring
Will be dependent upon the number of starters in each race. For example, if there are 100 starters in a race, then the first runner home will score 100 points, the second runner 99 points and so on.
We hope to have photographers at the events and will share photo's with clubs / schools. We may also use a photo or two on our social media pages. If anyone is sensitive to this then please do contact us beforehand.
Any queries to chris@rockcommercials.co.uk
Please keep an eye on this page for a route map nearer the event. Results will be published here as soon as practical after the event.
This event is supported by Bridgend Country Health Living
These events will be publicised on the Bridgend Schools XC page but they do not form part of their events.
Please see our list of events, the first one has passed but there are still 5 left to go and best 4 scores count towards the final league positions
Thanks
