The current standings can be found here.

In total there are 10 trail races and 10 fell races – advice on kit for fell races can be found here. Final kit requirements are made by the race organisers but always be prepared with full kit.

Prizes are determined by using the following criteria.

  • Complete a minimum of 3 fell races and 3 trail races.
    • Lowest score wins – scores are made up by dividing your finish position by the number of competitors in the race – the higher up the results you are, the lower your score.

Race 3 48th/87. Score 0.43

Race 4 110th/254. Score 0.43
