Points
Each runner receives points equal to the position they finish, during the race (e.g. 1st place = 1 point).
The team score is figured by tabulating the team’s first five finishers’ points. The lowest score wins.
In the event of a tie, the position of the last-placed scoring runner shall determine the result.
Teams should be able to finish at least five runners to score. If the fifth runner is unable to finish, the fifth score will be that of the place following the final finisher in the race e.g. if there are 50 runners, the fifth score to be added is 51 points.
Age Groups
Please keep to Straits Age Restrictions.
Athletes may compete in the age group above.
If all age groups run on the same day, athletes can only run in one age group race – athletes may run in a higher age group but not an age group below.
