Multi Terrain & Trail Race Championships 2012
Multi terrain and trail races are increasingly popular events where road racing, cross country & even hill running combine to provide interesting and fun challenges. To be eligible for the club MT&T championship you must complete any 4 races from the six listed below. Final dates for the events will be confirmed as soon as possible. Awards will be made to male & female athletes based on a WAVA recognised age-equalising graded scoring system [ask Ian McNulty!]. Hopefully this will add a new and truly competitive dimension to racing between club members across the age categories! Let’s see how it goes in 2012 and feel free to suggest events or changes for 2013 (There may be one or two changes and/or additions as things firms up). Events are at this time:
