Rules and Points Scoring

We are running a Club Championship based upon performances across the Harrogate Summer Road Race League and the Black Sheep Race Series.

Scoring will be points scored based upon race positions. The number of prizes awarded will be based upon the level of interest in the competition.

For each person, scoring will be as follows:

  • Four best point scores from the six Harrogate Summer League races will count, plus
  • Three best from the six Black Sheep Series 10K races, plus
  • One best of the two longer Black Sheep races (Ripon 10 miler and Burn Valley Half Marathon)

For each race, if there are up to 30 Harriers finishing, then the 1st Harrier (irrespective of age and gender) will get 30 points, the second Harrier 29, and so on.

If there are more than 30 Harriers finishing, the final Harrier to finish will get 1 point, the penultimate 2 points and so on.

To score points, the person must be registered as a Harrogate Harrier in the race results (otherwise it's pretty impossible to collate the results!)
