Most of the races are old favourites. Man v Horse is in the plan but will be replaced if we get ateam into the Welsh Castles this year.

After the sparkling finish to this season, with 2 men's team and 1 women's team firsts, this looks like it could be a lively competition next season. The fisture list has again been chosen to maximise participation with 2 of the Wirral Series in the programme. We have included a mixture of short and longer races to meet all needs.

Scoring is as for the XC with 50 pts for the first man and woman home then counting down through the other finishers. Your top 5 scores are used to generate your score and in the event of a tie the 6th event is taken as a tie breaker.

Happy racing.

Nice one Andy,

Keen to do a few of these.

Great job Andy!

By the way, would you consider old favourites such as "Tegg's Nose" and "Moel Famau" as substitutes in case any of the TBC races on the list above turn out to be cancelled (i.e. thurstaton etc)?

Simo,

If races are cancelled we will obviously look for replacements.
Moel Famau was put forward as an option by Shane as an alternative.

Hopefully get lots of new faces racing this coming season.

Simo I'll be at Garston for 08:30.

Not planning to go mad but I fancy trying this out. Never ran it before so no idea what to expect.

What shoes are best? I've either got normal running shoes or Mizuno Wave Harriers
