Rules to Note!

A “competitive event” is any officially timed and measured running race where placings are taken into account. A major competitive event is normally held once a year and attracts many runners from other regions. A minor competitive event is normally run more than once a year and attracts mainly local runners

Fun-runs do not normally count as competitive events, but points tallying of some “fun-runs” can be at the discretion of the administrator

Parkruns do not count in this competition due to their number and frequency of events all year round

The monthly Leith Harbour Free is tallied separately as it is organised by Leith Harrier & Athletic Club

We will monitor local events, however events competed in outside of our region will require the participant to notify the competition administrator

Events must be completed, a DNF will not count

Age grade placings of 10 points apply to major competitive events and track & field meetings

Age grade placings of 2 points apply to minor competitive events

Age grade placings of 10 points in track & field meetings are only tallied for one best grade placing result per meeting

Points can be compiled, for example, a runner who runs the 3000m Otago Champs (7 points) on the track (7 points) as well as top three placing (10 points) would gain a total of 24 points

Point tallying is at the discretion of the administrator (Marc) and as such they cannot enter the competition. The tallying will be detailed in a spreadsheet so participants can query at any time and frequent updates of the leaderboard will be communicated in the Leith website, social media and email
