HILL RUNNING CHAMPIONSHIPS 2016
Please see this year’s Hill Running Championship Races.
The best of 7 races from 10 to count,
2 points if you marshal or time keep for any event, to maximum of 6 points.
As the Annan 10 Mile road race is the day before the Auldgirth Race there will be 2 extra points for anybody that completes both races. The logic is that anybody that runs the Annan 10 will be at a disadvantage to those who “save” themselves for just the Auldgirth Race. I think the fresh legs would be worth 2 places in the race, hence 2 extra points for anybody that does both races.
If you run any race that is in the FRA or SHR calendar Club between 20/03/16 and 12/11/16 then you will receive 2 extra points to a maximum of 4 points Club vests must be worn, also club vest must be worn at all none-ADAC events, no vest no points.
The ADAC Hill Running Championship also incorporates the events in the Dumfries and Galloway Area Hill Running Championship, so remember that you could win a class in that Championship even if you are not able to secure a 1st 2nd or 3rd place in the ADAC Champs’.
For those of you new to Hill races remember that there is a mandatory kit requirement for all SHR and FRA events these are:-
Waterproof Jacket with hood and taped seams.
Waterproof Trousers with taped seams.
Hat and gloves
Map and Compass.
If you are short of any kit talk to me or Nigel as we have spare equipment we can lend.
Finally the most important thing, HAVE FUN everybody.
