County Championship Awards (County Qualified Entrants Only)
The Senior* male and female trophy cups will be awarded to the race winners.
- Individual County medals will be awarded to the first 3 finishers in each race/age group.
- Medals to the first 3 teams in each age group as per team scoring rule (below).
Team Scoring
Only first claim, county qualified, members of clubs affiliated to L&RAA will be eligible for team competition.
Team awards shall be based on the first THREE from each Club to finish in each age group race, except for the oldest two male groups: Senior Men's race where the first FIVE from that age group shall score; Masters Men's race where the first FOUR shall score. Due to low numbers, there will be no team awards in the U20 category. U20 athletes will count towards the senior team competition.
* Note:
No-one can receive more than two awards, one of which can be a team award. Awards can only be taken in the age group entered, other than the Senior Championship Male and Female Trophies which are presented to the first qualified athlete to cross the line in the combined age group race.
Numbers will be available at the Registration Desk from 10.00 onwards on 3rd January 2026.
