The Rules:
- It is open to all paid up members of the club.
- The competition runs from April 2023 to EO April 2024.
- You must enter the race as a Buckley Runner to earn points in any race (Ideally you should run in a Buckley Runners vest)
- See below for nominated races and links.
- Races must include a mixture of at least 3 out of the 4 formats to count – ie Road, Trail/XC, Fell, Extreme or Park Run
- A maximum of 15 races count towards final score
- Separate Male and Female competition
Scoring:
- Points will be scored by multiplying number of runners x 5
- So if 20 men run, the winner would get 100 points, down to the last placed Buckley male, who would get 5 points
- If 15 ladies run, the winner would get 75 points
Extra points can be won by:
- Getting a PB: 5 points for a PB on a previously run course
and
- Winning the race: 5 points for winning down to 1 point for coming 5th
or
- Winning age category: 3 points for 1st, 2 for 2nd and 1 for 3rd
Example:
- Max for winning the Flintshire 10k in 2022, would have scored:
- 5 points for winning the whole race
- 70 points for being Buckley top male (14 runners)
- So 75 points altogether from that race
