How fast can you run up and how fast can you hurtle down?
It requires determination and drive to get to the top and free running and guile to maneuver your way down.
The race series is split into 3 parts; the first 2 races are straight up and down races with records and prizes for the fastest uphill, downhill and combined times.
Each of these races run the uphill section first. At the top of the hill the times and positions are taken and when all runners have completed this section the race is restarted and the downhill section is completed.
The Race uses scanners, timers and barcodes like those you may have seen at your local park run. However, there is no need to print out your bar code as they are provided on the day and returned at the end of the race.
The 3rd race in the series is a relay race where teams of 3 can compete.
Teams can comprise of the following runners:
Team of 3 Club runners from the same club.
Team of 2 club runners from the same club and 1 club runner from a different running club.
Team of 3 unattached runners.
· Teams can be mixed or single sex.
· Prizes are awarded for the first 3 teams for club runner, unattached and single sex teams.
· Prizes will also be awarded for average age category based on the ages of your 3 runners.
Each runner takes it in turn to run straight up and down with no stopping at the top. When you get to the bottom you tag your partner and the next person in your team runs. The last person in your team must wear the athlete ID given, this allows your teams time to be scanned and recorded.
