Click here to read Previous Harriers Challenges
Here is this years Challenge and there are 24 races to chose from. Ten Road Races, Ten Off Road Races and Four Cross Countries. Check actual dates on the Harriers website Calendar.
Scoring is the first runner gets the same number of points that there are runners in the group at the start of the Challenge. (eg Group One 9pts.) Second place gets one less (8 pts) and so on.
The winners will be those with the best 12 scores.
In fairness to all runners we ask that you wear club colours in all challenge races so your fellow table members can spot you. Failure to do so may mean that you don’t get points in the race.
All groups will be re-assesed after the Alsager 5
