Linda Cunningham has done a wonderful job in organising our summer race series for 2025. She writes:
We’ve tried to keep races in series local and inexpensive, tried to fit in suggestions from members and tried to include races a load of Central people do anyway.
So here’s the races: a weekend series and a mid-week series: your 5 highest scoring races will count plus a bonus parkrun August challenge. Highest points (max 60) wins.
For age-adjusted performance the series uses WAVA or WMA age grading. WAVA on its own doesn’t really work over a series of races and to give the more mature members a chance we’ll go with WAVA and then points based on WAVA. So there is a maximum of 10 points available every race for male/female; highest WAVA gets 10 points, next 9 etc. The Parkrun challenge in August will be based on WAVA.
